The stamped steel housing I removed from my car used for retaining the front side marker lights for 68 seem to have been bare steel even though they were not very pitted and no evidence of paint were these bare steel at installation ?
So are these at NPD incorrect?
I asked NPD directly and they said in fact it's bare metal. Here's the additional picture they sent me which clearly shows they are not gold. You can even see the weld marks on 2 corners. That being said does anyone have a source for the correctly finished ones?
Are there any paint products that replicate the gold dichromate finish in lieu of using gold chromate solution after zinc plating? I'm thinking about trying my hand at zinc plating as it seems it is a relatively easy process using readily available ingredients.
................... Put you time ,effort and money and doing it right the first me is my advice.
Also interesting is my front valence is attached to the fender via bolts and not like yours with studs/nuts.
