Re: Does anyone know what kind of plate this is?
CarWiz thanks for your help.
I have no idea what kind of base metal it is other than the fact it appears white/grey in color and that it is definately die casted. I am thinking it is zinc die casted but I really do not know for sure. Do you have any suggestion on how I might be able to tell for sure?
Is plating brass or bronze with antiqueing highlights something I might be able to accomplish? Any suggestions on how I can come up with that process? These plates have not been manufactured since 1976 and are getting very rare to find. Like I said before, most of them I have are starting to get blackened and polish doesnt seem to bring it back.
