CONSOLE TOP PLATES

As mentioned previously we had new chrome reapplied to several of our old parts. The console plates pictured here were two of those parts. Again, the cost to acquire reproduction replacement parts was prohibitive. While they may not be of the same quality as replacement parts they are certainly a hell of a lot less expensive.

The process to get them looking as they do today was not easy. Repairing the hundreds of pit marks that marrded the surfaces was time consuming and tedious work. As you can see we chose to vary from tradition when repaining the plates. Instead of painting the throughs grey we painted them black to match the interior color.
