Default Re: Chrome shop using dull nickel .

The gear shift lever and cowl vent handle on early fords was known to me as satin chrome plating finish. Some called it butler finish. Nickel has always had a yellow tinge about it and different to any chrome. Not sure if satin chrome is the result of the finish on the metal surface before plating or something to do with the plating process. Different countries maybe call various plating finishes by different names. Regards, Kevin.
