What type of Anodizing?

[SSSN8KE]

Does anyone know what type of Anodizing was used from the factory for 68 GTS tail panels? I have heard several types eg: clear, satin, bright, polished to name a few.

Thanks for your expertise!
Stu.

Hey @partsmonsta
I know you have and still restore a ton of bezels.
Could you confirm what anodizing is done on these?
Did you reanodize the bezels and tail panels when you do them ?

My understanding is the bright chrome like anodizing is referred to a "Bright" anodizing

This is correct. I used to strip and polish my stuff and gave the guy in the subdivision next to mine do the bright dip finish. I met " Raz" who worked at a commercial anodizing place. Sadly he has passed. So another old school guy gone. Less and less old school guys can do old school hand work. Now I just polish and keep it up.
