Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
[ QUOTE ]
I have poured all kinds of chemicals in the second one trying to get it to yellow up some. [/ QUOTE ] Looks like there's a need for old yellowed washer bottles! I predict they will be soon be coming up on eBay with hefty price tags! Rats, I need one too. I guess I'll have to use the new, too-white repro since the correctly-aged pieces might be out of my price range. Maybe someone can start a business that makes new repros look four decades old? Maybe fill it with ice-tea and set it out in the sun for a few weeks, then bake it in the oven on low heat so it doesn't melt? Just brainstorming here... (Yeah, small brains shouldn't try to brainstorm.)

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
What if you submerge the whole thing in rusty water?

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
Fill it up with Coke. Let it sit for a couple of days. The phosphoric acid in Coke can dissovle human teeth.
Warning: it might turn it more brown than yellow.

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
Thanks for the washer bottle discussion...Got me thinking again..Were the factory bottles ever that white? I replaced my old one due to the yellow tint and used a GM white bottle...I'm starting to like the yellow tint more and more..I know the yellow tinted one was correct but was it aged or did it just "come that way"...???

Re: What is this 69 Original Paint Z28 Worth
The washer solvent reservoirs were white. Here's one that is untouched and just starting to yellow at the center molding seam.
