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

Another option for Zinc is to spray indoor/ outdoor Krylon Flat Crystal Clear paint over the zinc. Its unnoticeable and simulates the dull finish.
