Your welcome.

Just to clarify whenI say the metal wasn't smooth.

The wrinkle finish gets stripped off, but i guess the metal has imperfections that needed to be smoothed out since it wasn't intended to be perfect for chroming.

Was the metal painted both sides? And do you know whether there was any kind of plating under the pant, e.g. zinc?

I am looking for a Street Bob console for my Superglide that I will have chromed. I am then powdercoating the plat part by the gauge black and putting a Dakota Digital tach in there. Should look pretty neat when finished.

I don't think it was painted on the back side.

it probably did have a coating on it or I'd think the backside would rust.

The chromer stripped everything so i don't know the details.
