[N2TRUX]

Work week is finally done and it wasn't a pretty one. I did end it with a couple of positive points. I got home not physically and mentally drained despite the heat and spent some time in the shop.

I decided to work on the bumper brackets and license plate housing. The plate housing was tweaked in a couple spots so I spent some time gently finessing it back in shape.
After a nice hammer and 2x4 session it looked great. Yes, it's a minor victory and wouldn't be seen once the plate was on, but it felt good to beat on something with hammer and actually make it better. A trip to the blasting cabinet and fresh paint would make it good as new.

My happy dance was brief. Out of 11 cans of silver colored paint from several different sources, not one of them was close to correct. I got dull and shiny silver for days, but nothing close the argent.

I will prevail but all I have are before pics for now. Look close to see the long crease that run horizontal across the housing.
