Plating question

Posted by Dan Partain on May 19, 1997 at 18:21:55

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
