Chrome fender tag - is is acceptable?

[73dust340]

I unscrewed my fender tag today and cleaned it up. Now I'm wondering what's considered acceptable to prevent it from rusting. I was thinking of electroplating and polishing it up like chrome, but how would people look upon that? I could clear it or paint it, but I think it would look nice all shiny.

If your car is a "100 point" restoration then I wouldn`t do anything other than paint it body color but if not then you can do whatever pleases you.

Do what ever tickles your fancy...I think chrome would look neat...

Well as long as it isn't blasphemy, I'm going for it. Thanks for the input.

If its not a factory resto, do it! ive got a weak spot for unique things but, i think that would look good on any A body!

Zinc plated it and I think it came out pretty nice.

Second picture is after some polishing.

Pictures don't really do the polish justice. It looks great in person. Not as nice as chrome, but close enough.

Chrome it! A buddy of mine did his years ago and it looked sweet.
