I have taken my instrument panel and gearshift lever to the plater to be plated in "butler" finish nickel plating. This is for a '29 PU. I would like to get a more detailed description of the original "butler" finish for these items. It is my understanding that the pieces are taken through the plating process and then they are buffed to a satin sheen which leaves a brushed appearance. The plater asked me if I wanted the brushed finished to be vertical or horizontal on the instrument panel and also which direction on the gearshift lever. I would like to find out if there is some kind of a pattern to the finish or if it is just a random "brushed" finish. I will also post this to the MAFCA answer page. Thanks, -DAN |
