Chris,
Be glad you still have one , The badges were installed as a bare steel
stamping with just a little lead to the rad. Water gets behind the plate
and rusts it out , protected by the black paint on the outside but not
from behind. What I did with mine was gently and gently wire brush to
get some of the surface rust off, use some rustoleum rusty primer and
spray it to the masked off plate. It will help seal the surface, also
something like rust mort will work, see if you can get it behind the
plate too. Anything to protect it when the rad is cleaned. Ive heated
them off before but if there is enough rust present it can be damaged
even more ( rust thru holes)I would get it sealed up and then paint it
all together as original was. Dont over paint or use a brush, just
enough to help blend the rust a little smoother.
Carroll
