Hi,
My '62 2A horn surround (the metal part that snaps into the top of the steering wheel and holds the horn button in the center) was painted grey at some point, then silver, but the backside is covered in wrinkly black paint! Pictures in magazines and books arent terribly clear but it looks to be painted. Or plated...

What is the original finish?
paint (what color?) chrome, or was it galvani$ed?
