In the GT/CS book it notes these were chrome plated. In looking at a pair I'm working on (Shelby, second set to play with before disassembling the GT/CS) it sure looks sprayed on to me...
On mine its pretty evident that there was a mask, as the edge outside the lamp housings areas has overspray on one side. Inside the buckets once the bulb sockets were tapped out a bare ring is obvious around the hole. I think probably masked to keep the spray off the contact area to the socket and interfering with grounding...
Wondering if the consensus is chrome or paint? I'm leaning towards some kind of paint and the note in the book is incorrect...??? (as steel wool removes it, its real soft chrome!)
