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

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.
