Hi
All of my trim is original and looks like you
describe, the texture is by design. I have thought of painting the textured
part maybe red. Where is the plating shop located ?

Subject: IML: Details of '55 exterior
trim pieces
Here's hoping that some of the '55
experts can comment on the details in the external side spears trim
texture. I just had my external pot metal trim repaired and replated. The
car was a driver's car with pits in all of the pot metal pieces. I am
concerned that the job was not completed properly, but I have no
reference. The inner recesses of the side pieces look like there are
gazillion little pits while the border surfaces are nice and smooth.
The border surfaces had significant numbers of larger pits, and those
were corrected. Are the recesses on the side trim supposed to
have texture or are they supposed to be smooth? The condition also
exists on the inner surfaces of the grill pieces as well as the
lower trim at the rear bottom of the quarter panels.
I could sure use some reference to either
tell Frankford Plating Inc. that they did a great job, or that they
left a lot of work undone.
Thanks in advance for any
responses.
