Mine (on a 400) had the remnants of black paint in them. I repainted them after having them re-plated.

Randy and O-D are correct. Plated then the grooves have black paint in them.
The 55 had the gold plated V's while the similar 56 cars had a red hexagon reflector instead. Taillight lenses appear to be identical between the two years.

Yep. Painted my grooves black as well after rechroming for my 400. I tend to think that the grooves were designed to match the grooves on the stainless steel Reynolds wrap on the sides of senior cars.
