License plate bracket

[dcmason69]

Restoring rear license plate bracket on 69 Coronet, what did these look like from factory as far as paint or plating?
Had to take mine apart from the pivot pin and spring in order to straighten both pieces has old black paint on back side but I don’t believe it’s correct!
Any help anyone?
Thank You dcmason69

Good old cold galvanized that nobody can duplicate anymore. Not in this country anyhow..

Thanks dadsbee that’s what I figured
Will see what it looks like after I strip off old paint !
May just foof some brite zinc on small
bracket and spring will see what rest looks like natural after using paint remover.
Thanks for the reply!
