New Hood Latch or restored part?

Featured Replies

Well I have searched the forums and haven't found an answer to my question so I figured just ask it. In a lot of pics on the site the hood latch on a lot of cars looks new. Does somebody sell these or were they replated somewhere. I hate to put mine back in after re plating, painting or powder coating everything else. It would definitely stick out! Thanks, Jeff

Odds are if it looks new it has been replated or could just be a good condition original. Some people have used Caswell plating products to plate things like that at home http://www.caswellplating.com/. I'm just going to get all the parts together that need replating and have them professionally done.

Thanks to both of you for the reply. I'll look into both options and see what looks best.
