Hi, I have a "pot metal" vintage car emblem that has "pits" can i use this to fill the pits and have the part re-chromed?

Not a good option,a chrome shop should be able to properly strip your piece,copper it and chrome it with no problem.

From just looking at the picture of this product/mount it could easily be done but you would have to drill new holes in the shortened pipe to run the bolts through for mounting on either end. It might be simpler to just go to an auto muffler shop that does custom exhaust systems and have them make you a shortened pipe to use, bring the pipe that is too long with you so they can match up the pipe size and you would also have to paint it to match later. Not really a hard thing to do when you think about it but I love working with metals and such. Any metal fabrication business could also do the work quite cheaply I would think.

I used my old emblem. It's hard to find a new "emblem". Seems like all I could find was a vinyl overlay

You have to remove it. a plastic spatula works awesome slowly wiggle it under the old emblem. Make sure you clean off all old glue also. Good luck

Enamel, that is what the original car had. I have used Lacquer, but that just doesn't make the finish look like the original car!

I bought this grill to replace the chrome grill on my f-350. My chrome was bubbling up. I would suggest getting some new retaining clips when you order it.

You can only put the chip part. The actual metal key cannot be replaced unless you go to the dealer. That's what I found.

You remove the existing emblem. Then i suggest to clean the area with alcohol to have a clean surface. Then you take the new emblem peel off the back and it has 3m double sided tape. You just line it up place it and press hard to get it to atick good.

I agree with Scott C. and Kevin H. (previous responses). Be careful about the paint. And I got this because the finish on my original cracked and the paint was coming off. So I got the replacement. A few months later, merging onto a highway, the emblem came flying off. It didn't do any damage when it hit my windshield, and I was able to retrieve it. But I put the old one back on (I filled in the areas of missing paint with a sharpies, for the time being), and I've been driving around with that while I decide what to do. I really don't want to glue the new one back on. And the old one is hanging in there just fine. So, was it that the new emblem was inferior? I have to wonder. I agree with Scott C. and Kevin H.

I don't believe this product would be coarse enough to do a cast iron head and would be susceptible to clogging on the aluminum. If you're talking about just removing old head gasket material before reinstalling a head, it should be fine, though. Don't look for it to take out a heavy fly cut in a block and make it mirror smooth.

No, I made that mistake. The emblem is only for the hood. I believe your hatchback emblem is the same as mine which is not just the round 82mm. Hope this helps

I think it depends on how the copper is bonded to the what is probably chrome alloy. I would not discard it quite yet. I really like this kettle. It may not have whistled and that is why you left it. When you put the lid on it has to snap down. Mine has a very loud whistle when you do that. If possible try to contact the company that makes them. Maybe Amazon can help with that. They are too expensive to just dump it. Good luck.

Yes, if you are painting a metal with high iron content. Did you read the instructions? I didn't. I think my wife bought it to spray a green plastic kitchen trash can to make it look like SS. There should be an 800 number to call on the can. If you want your car to look like a DeLorean MC-12, just buy one.

.you need to remove the old emblem then place the new emblem behind the old emblem use the 3m tape to hold on to the old emblemI removed my old emblem with a heat gun just be very careful not to melt it

I'd suggest super-gluing around the edges of the emblem. I have had three of these fly off the car, one even after I super-glued to the wheel. I'd also suggest returning them and getting your money back since they aren't going to last, as I said, I bought four and three of them were gone after a couple months.

I don't see why not. Any paint that is suitable for metal should work fine. Of course, it probably won't look as nice as the factory paint job, but it should look pretty good.
