Can someone tell me what the name of the plating that is used to give metal parts the gold/greenish color. It is used on many bolts and other early Vette parts such as the wiper door vac can and headlight actuators
Thanks

I believe you mean cadmium plate.

Thanks for the reply. I thought that's what it was called.

Gold cadmium...used on brake backing plates, brake master cyl. cover(some years), headlight actuator cans, etc.
Don't know of any gold cad. plated bolts/nuts used on Vettes...most were either natural, silver cad., or some shade of black/gray phosphate.

Charlie,
I believe that the standard "cadmium" plating is silverish color, and the golden plating is called cadmium dichromate.
Good luck,
Anthony
