More than $400 for a Stude bullet? You would have better luck convincing a MoPar nut that an Imperial is actually a Chrysler!Last edited by Stude Shoo-wop!; 01-28-2018, 02:32 PM.Jake Robinson Kaywell: Shoo-wops and doo-wops galore to the background of some fine Studes. I'm eager and ready to go!

The outer part of the large ring was simply masked off and painted body color. You should be able to do that yourself or have it done inexpensively. I would recommend etching the part to be painted and use an epoxy primer prior to color. If etching is not available, lightly sand the shiny chrome to allow the primer to adhere better. Proper preparation prevents poor performance.

The bullet ring on my '50 was purchased many years ago at the York swap meet. The seller had just purchased a lot of stuff out of an old dealership. He thought he was selling a NOS ring, as it was still in the box. When we removed the part from the box we discovered the ring had a large crack and was obviously used. We guessed the dealer had apparently replaced a ring for someone's damaged one and put the old one back in the box. Since the chrome was still exceptionally good and the crack wasn't too noticeable, we struck a deal on the price and it's been on my car ever since.
