    63 Grille moulding finish

    The lower and both side mouldings are in good shape except for the finish. Can someone help me out with the original type of finish and where I might get that finish dupilcated.

    Thanks, Don #31553

    These mouldings are anodized and "bright dipped". I have never been able to find anyone here in the Baltimore area who does this. "Buff-It", in Hobart, Indiana re-anodized my 63 console. It looks super. They advertise a lot in Hemmings. They might be worth a try. Chuck

        You might check the price of new ones before spending the money to get yours refinished. I don't know about the quality of new ones, but I believe they're available from vendors and may be less costly than the refinishing.

            Wayne and Chuck, Thanks for your help, I'll touch base with Buff-It while keeping replacement costs in mind, which is about $120.
