'65 tail light nut covers - correct appearance?

[BuickGS65]

Hi Guys:

What is the correct appearance for the tail light nut covers (that cover the studs in the trunk)? Is it charcoal grey zinc phosphate plating?

Thanks.

I just took some nice nuts off original taillights and I would say they are clear zinc phosphate. I could take pictures if you need, assuming those are the parts you are talking about.

Thanks, Kurt.

Anyone else want to chime in and confirm?

Thanks

Dan,

If I had to guess, I'd say a straight cad plating. I couldn't really tell on the ones I had, and had them done grey phos. because cad platers are getting hard to come by.

I just sent 36 out to get silver cad plated.  Thanks for all the replies.

If anyone has an extra set of these I would be interested in buying them.  Nither my car nor any of the parts cars I took apart still had any of these in them.

Are there covers for the nuts, or are you discussing the nuts themselves? I don't remember any covers on the nuts.

Kurt,

These.

Interesting, only Buick would go to that much trouble and expense.

isn't that why it is easier to restore anything else?
Buicks and there owners are a special breed.
