What do you use for the antenna base?

[chaddicus]

Our base is pretty faded, what options are there aside from replacing the base all together? painting?

i've used tire shine the day before shows, but that wears out quickly. but i've read good stuff about mothers back to black.

[from Margaritaville...]

I used a cheap little paint brush and a small bottle of Testor's model paint "flat black" from a hobby/craft store...

I'll second Mother's Back to Black. Mine still looks awesome after almost 4 years.

In my experience, Mother's B2B only works well if you reapply it after every carwash. Hell, maybe it was doing it wrong or something.

I use mothers back to black for shows. Otherwise a bit of black shoe polish.

I use silicone. Same stuff for all the black and/or rubber pieces on the outside of the bug.

Back to Black here as well.....in multiple coats.
