Painting is easy if you do it the way I have in the past seems crazy but works perfect. the first thing you do is spray your black towards the black surface getting good coverage.Then simply spay the silver from the opposite direction with the molding held up on an angle with the black facing down along with your spray direction. This will leave you with a factory look and no time wasted on a tape off of your black. Good luck it will work fast and look killer. Jay
 .....to paint each relief individualy is insane!.....I've used pretty much the same proccess, except I spray the whole peice black, then stand the mldgs vertical with the reliefs or "saw edges" facing downward, and only topcoat them in silver, in one direction, downward,.......this allows the black fillet, to be accented as original, without goin insane trying to detail them

I agree with the painting methods described above - it works exceptionally well.
There are special shouldered screws to hold the rocker mouldings on (contact m46rat for correct ones), otherwise I've just used stainless steel pan head screws to hold 'em in the past.
Does anyone have a pic of the special screws that came off of an original untouched car? My last two unrestored '70 'Cudas used regular panhead screws.

I wouldn't get all jammed up about the "special" screws, my 3,900 mile survivor has the pan head also.

Mike: If they are not a big deal to you, then why did you PM me about reproducing them?

is it possible that the moldings were revised and made a little thicker at some point making the shouldered screws a necessity???
yes, there wwas more than "one version" of the 70 rocker mouldings although they have the same part number.
