Refinishing a warning triangle
 
Has anyone attempted to refinish a trunk triangle? I've found a few in yards and such that I didn't bother with because the rivets had started to rust and the white metal frame was starting too as well.

How can we refresh these?

its just metal. But if you clean the triangle be careful with the exclamation point in the middle. I need a triangle for my cabrio

They are just metal, but isn't it interesting how they rust? Do you know what I mean?

Maybe it's due to wet trunks contributing to this but I find it disappointing.

It's funny because I refused to buy a used one from Ebay because prices were as high as $100 and in less than ideal condition. So I looked up the p/n and ordered brand new from an online OEM dealer for $75 only to receive an email a day later saying these are no longer available...So much for thinking I was the smartest guy around :o

Anyway, I suppose you are right and with some effort and these being just metal, I guess some refurb shouldn't be too difficult.

And thanks for the tip about the exclaimation point!!
