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.
