      ...Speaking of the "rivets", here is one I'm doing today. The "rivets" are just spot tacks with a 6013 rod...(fast and easy! I may leave this one silver, with the green original paint showing, topped with some black I have applied at the bottom. I can still do the Linseed oil, but not keep the heat on it, and it'll stay silver, although the oil does darken it a bit...or I could spray it with clear acrylic, which would result in a brighter silver, but does not hold up under the Texas sun anywhere near as well as the oil.
