Re: [Chrysler300] '60 radio delete plate

["Terry & Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxx>]

Isn't there a process now where gold plating can literally be put on by
brush with and electrode setup. Doing this to the raised lettering would be
a snap. Saw a vendor at a show few years back who would do this to parts
you provided.

not separate script. Have never seen a '61 or '62 delete plate so can't
comment there. A picture of the radio delete on my 300F Special is on the
club page: http://www.chrysler300club.com/stories/graefen/GT300F.html as
the fifth picture down. Although it is black and white, I assure you the
script is chrome with the rest of the plate.

After the entire part is chromed, the mask is applied over all areas that
are not to become gold and then dipped in the gold tank. This was done with
the forwardlook emblems on the '57 DeSoto Adventurer for example.
