S90 Special Tool

Nabbed this vintage S90 "Special Tool" case on eBay for $41.  Was back and forth on whether to restore it or leave it with the (pink) patina.  But in the end, I wanted to to keep it inside so had to have it looking fresh and clean.

Blue: Horn Grills in Orange

The chrome on the horn grills had started to look plain horrible (pits and corrosion), to the point where it was nagging me.  At $50 each, decided I may as well try to do something with the existing ones.  Sanded them down hard with 80 grit then painted them in orange (engine paint).

Looked good in my imagination, but not really sure how much I like it in reality.  Jury's still out...

Spares: Rear Sprocket Cover Paint

Painted one of the spare rear sprocket covers (the one in the worst nic) in cast coat aluminum, intending to put it on the model engine.  But didn't like how it covered up the detail of the rear sprocket so just ended up putting it back in storage.

Came out very nice, though...

Blue: Ashtray restore

Thought it would be nice to have some kind of tray to put the garage opener in while driving, but the glovebox is too far to reach while strapped in.  Ashtray was perfect, but in crappy shape, so did a sand/paint job and came out better than expected.

Took the black paint off the chrome trim and left it bare.
