Firewall tag--bare aluminum, painted black, or painted silver?

[Brian]

Trying to determine what is correct for the cars built at different plants.  Post where your car was built and how the firewall tag was finished--was it bare aluminum, painted silver, painted black or something else. 
  Mine was built in Flint and was either silver or bare aluminum--I can't remember which and am going by a picture of the car when I got it,  I painted it black with the firewall when I restored the car and took it back to bare aluminum now trying to make it more correct.

Maybe this will help.  Go to www.442bro.com and click on ACC CODES,  this web site has great info on 65 442's,  some info can be applied to 65 GS's.

I looked there and nothing about the finish on the tags, and nothing about the Buick plants other than Freemont.

This was located under ACC CODES, I just copied and pasted it.

Fremont tags were not painted, so you can conclude that they were riveted in place after the car was built.

My 65 GS conv. was built the 2nd wk. of feb. in Flint. From my pic. in 1969, it was bare alum.
