The rear pot metal “PLYMOUTH” letters

[Moparfiend]

Did the original letters have some paint inside or do mine just need some cleaning and polishing?

Now I am wondering what kind of anagram I can make as well…

 

[Jerry Hall]

Black paint inside.

Jerry knows best as an avid collector of many years. I have no doubt. However mine on the 68 GTX were the color of the OP. Likely because of the model, yr and trunk back plate. But honestly I don't recall seeing many black. I'm sure I need to be schooled.

Yeah I see something that looks like black paint. Wasn’t sure if was just 50 years of crude. Now I know. Thats going to be a pita to do.

If you painted a car, why would you sweat over 8 small letters?

Painting over chrome no buano
Can’t use traditional masking methods

I was also told as a young teenager not to sweat the petty stuff but to always pet the sweaty stuff…….

Put them in a empty water bottle with Lacquer thinner and shake them vigorously a few times for a day. Then dry them off. Spray them black on a piece of cardboard , let dry for a couple of days and then take the thinner and wipe the paint off the surrounding area. Rags and Q tips. Works great. Use good paint.

My 70 is black inside

 

[RSZ28]

Thin black paint with some thinner, and put it in a syringe to inject paint inside lettering.

Expand the picture that @Moparfiend posted, you will see remnants of black paint in some of letters, especially the H, P, &, U.

Numerous, but he's talking about his 70 Road Runner. They are also on the hood of my '66 Satellite and have come on other cars as well. Over the years there are a couple versions of pin orientation on a couple of the letters..

My 1970 Sport Satellite

Thanks for the inputs guys. I am curious what paint you guys used and what thinner as well.

Rows 1 through 4 came off 1970 Road Runners ( black inserts ).
Row 5 came off a 1970 Sport Satellite ( all Chrome ).

The letters shown in your picture are the same as what are on my 65 Sport Fury. Recessed area painted Black. I don't recall any other color in them. I suppose you could paint em any color you want though.
