Re: Dash Meshes and Back Pads

Thank you again as our posts crossed! Fred at Max Merritt sent some photos of his 1955 Caribbean with a 1956 dash which shows it well but he also said that it silver padding behind which makes it “pop” to use his expression. I don’t know if that means that gold dashes always had the gold padding and the silver had silver or if silver was sometimes used behind the gold to highlight it.

So back to the color itself, is it an actual anodizing or it is a dye?
