Hey everyone,
I was wondering if theres any good way of doing this. I have a plastic GM coolant overflow tank and its 31 years old. It's yellow, and scummy looking... I know it's near impossible to get it looking like new again but I would like it to look better then it does. Ive sprayed it with degreaser and that got the grease off of it, but like I said it's weathered. I have not tried plastix on it and I doubt that would do much, would I be better off just taking it off the inner fender and spraying it white with plastic paint?
I don't really want to buy a new plastic one as it's about $40.
A billet one would be cool but once again it's more then I'd like to spend.
The generic Napa one is like $10 but I don't really want a generic Napa overflow.
I know on the rat rods/trad rods that they just use a Jack Daniels bottle, anyone ever do this? Would I just need a hose leading to the bottle and a bracket to hold it in place? Would this just make me look like an :alcoholic?
Sorry for the novel and thanks for any help/comments/suggestions!:banana
