My ‘30 Coupe has repro running boards with stainless steel trim. I’d like to change it over to zink. Bob Burdick doesn’t think his will work on repos. I see Sacramento Ford has zink trim for repro boards. Has anyone had experience with their product? Any suggestions on how to remove the trim on my boards?

Hello ,
I put zinc trims on my 1930 Coupe when I restored the car 10 years ago trying to get the original look..
Dont do it .
They are a pain in the you know what.
They tarnish and oxidize so quickly and look ugly. I have to polish them with chrome polish once a month otherwise they turn grey and spotty and look ugly.

I would go stainless if I was to restore the boards again. Maintenance free.

Mark.
