1951 / Early 52 Kaiser trunk handle
« on: April 03, 2017, 07:14:21 PM »
Just got my trunk handle back from plater today.
Question is - were the K-A-I-S-E-R  letters on these painted with that silver that the letters on the grill work of the '49/'50 KFs were?


PS - chrome is hard to photograph. This picture does not do it justice, it looks beautiful.  When I get it back on the car and can take a pic out in the daylight I'm sure it will appear as nice as it turned out.

I have an NOS 51K trunk handle body and the letters are not painted on it.

Thanks Jim. I will leave it as it is. It really looks good. I'm exited about getting back on the car.

Installed today.  Used one of Rudy's gaskets and it was perfect.  Looks great too.
