Now that's recycling.  Great idea.

Joe, what did you use to paint the lenses? I've messed with thinned lacquer and 'stained glass' paint.....

You wouldn't happen to have a link or source for those lenses would you?
I'd rather they were cast red rather than painted. The tinting is interesting but a whole lens is moreso....

I remember back in the day when my folks were doing a resto on their Alfa Romeo 105 Berlina they got their hands on some dedicated lens tint to bring the lenses back to their former glory.  They had both amber and red for the lenses.  Where, what and how much is beyond me but I know that it is out there.  It looked shit hot when done too.  Just like a bought one.

Ha!  :D

Oxalic Acid is also available in powdered form at any grocery store.  I buy "Barkeepers Friend" in a goldish can in the cleaners isle.  I use it to clean my stainless brewing equipment and pots, as well as my sink!

I've never tried it on chrome.  The BKF does have an abrasive in it, but as long as you don't rub it on the part, it shouldn't scratch it.

I think a can is like $1.50.

This stuff rocks, Thanks for the TIP!!!!
