    yep that stuff could work as long as there no fine lines like a emblems would have .i had some rod that crown rod made was very tricky to weld and hope i think it was kirker rod. with pot metal it is full of junk you have two wipe out the junk out that floats out and you get gas out to . i think the muggy rod is a lower heat that stops some of this ? and all chrome has to be off the part.if you plate it they can be filled with copper and blocked out as getting plated but .some of the fine lines if any can be removed over working the parts .pot metal is a $itch
