    Black '73 grill and emblems?

    What are some ways that you guys restore your faded black hardware? Anyone paint them back to black? Would that look ok or cheesy? Is there anyone who can anodize them black?

    Trying to decide what to do.

    Do a search under 'black anodize' lots of information there. In addition since the emblems fade to a titanium (gunmetal) color I went to Pep boys and found a touch up paint to match that look. That car won its class at the parade concours one year and I was not gigged for that, so i guess it looked correctly aged.
