Folks, I was changing the light bulb on the parking light/turn signal holder on my '73 GTV last night and noticed that the inside of the holder was quite dull instead of a shiny reflecting surface. I'd like it to be more reflective so that the car is more visible. The holder seems to be made of pot metal and the interior surface has patches of grayish corrosion.
I've got a rattle-can of Eastwood's reflector paint but I'm unsure how to prep the surface of the reflector's interior. I presume that I can remove the corrosion with steel wool/wet-dry sandpaper but do I need a primer before applying the reflector paint ? On a side note, I'd like to replace the screw-into-standoffs ( http://www.mcmaster.com/#spacers-and-standoffs/=c24wpo) which attaches the lens to reflector body, and the reflector body to the car. All I can find are standoffs that have a hex body of 11 mm and I need ones that are 8 mm. Anyone have an idea where I can get such things ?
