Both side window frames in this 72 project were black. When I disassembled one of them I was delighted to find it was expertly wrapped in black electrical tape, a blessing I suppose as the bright finish underneath is in excellent shape. I had presumed the other frame was likewise wrapped in tape. Not so fast. I presume it is a black oxide coating and I'm not sure what the best approach is to get it bright . Can it just be stripped (by the plater, of course) and leave the polishing up to me? or should it be anodized? or chromed?


Thanks again for the help, MIke
