Back to the dashboard of a post or two.
I have this extra Clipper, faceplate and of course its silver.
I am using it to try and duplicate the gold color.
I cleaned and taped off a portion of it today.
I don’t want to do the whole thing in case I have to make multiple tries.
My first attempt does match the original gold pretty good but I am not sure that the gold on the original face place has not faded any.
That 60 year old anodizing may have faded under all that trim work.
I know the 56 face plates are different. I also think they were much brighter.
Does anyone have a decent image of the 55 face plate in its original color.
I’ve seen all the advertisements but I really do not trust the color in those.
