I have a 1969 Cougar convertible and I need to refinish the metal trim that runs along the top of windshield between the sun visor brackets on the the interior side, not sure what this part is called(anyone??). I need to know what type of finish this trim has. The finish is definitely not painted and is kind of satin and has a silverish and some blueish tint to it. The finish does not look to be satin chrome, kind of wonder if is cadmium or zinc based plated finish. The finish is thin and seems to have been very durable but I have some rust spots as you can see from photos.
Been wondering the same thing for my 70. Following…
actually I think that it is nickel plated. Call a place like Paul’s Chrome. They will copper plate it and fix the pits and then nickel plate it afterwards.
Its absolutely not. a painted finish. Its a thin plated finish. Finish is as hard as metal.
