Title: 69 taillight buckets
Post by: 1969 Cale II on April 16, 2024, 09:10:23 PM
What is the plating color on the taillight buckets? I have a hard time telling if it's clear zinc or cad. Any help?

I've never tested the surface to determine the original plating. Would be a good project for someone even using the basic tests - but if you have access to one of those machines that would be great also  :)

Only way to tell for sure.  Often people do zinc then dully it down with a wheel acid wash since cad is not legal in allot of places though you can ship them if it were cad
