Bonnet Bumps

The rubber bump-stops at the rear of the hood frame were covered in numerous coats of craked and ugly overspray. I decided to remove the pieces from the car and clean them up with some low-impact, rubber-friendly paint stripper, after forgetting to take a pic of the the situation. The good news is, they cleaned up
nicely if not perfectly.



 I wonder if the bump stops were originally painted at the factory - there remained a coat of gray (Tampico?) on the underside of the beige respray.

Painted Black

For obscure reasons the paint on the gas pedal arm had worn off. Perhaps a Bigfoot used to own the car.

I crawled under the dash with a really small brush and an equally small amount of paint - the thought of spilling the stuff on my floor mats was enough to make me cringe - and redid the paint.

Not quite good as new, but better than before. I don't actually know if the pedals were painted black at the factory or by a PO, but it's useful to have them all look the same.
