I purchased a '70 4 light bar from Ivestors and structurally it is great shape. However, you can see it needs to be repainted.  I tried a search for posts on restoring a light bar but didn't find what I was looking for.  I have a few questions for those who have done this before.

  • What is the correct paint code or color and finish for the dash bar?
  • Is it a must to remove the lenses to restore the bar?
  • If I must remove the lenses, what rivet size are they?

I really don't want to take the lenses out because they are in great shape and I'm afraid they would get damaged.  I can use a model brush to paint the rivets and I can mask the lenses.

Flat/mat black. Tape off the lenses.
The only thing flat earthers fear, is sphere itself.

'70 Barracuda B5/B5 225 /6 3spd ... about as bare bones as they came .... now in 4spd flavor

 :iagree:   Pretty easy and it looks like you have a nice light bar to start with too!  And this looks to be the rare 1970 Challenger light bar.  1 year only rare part!  Nice find.
