STANDARD FINISHES
NICKEL: A traditional silver finish with a golden yellow cast. Applied over a highly polished brass metal, it has a high degree of hardness for long wear. Nickel plate will sometimes lose some of its luster with age.

RHODIUM: A brilliant silver finish with a blue white cast. This semi-precious metal finish is applied over a bright, nickel-plated base and is tarnish resistant. It will not discolor.

GOLD: A rich, 24K gold electroplated finish. A heavy gold deposit over a bright nickel base insures long wear.

SIL-RAY: A bright, deep toned silver with a special baked coating for durability and long wear.

GOL-RAY: A bright, deep toned gold with a special baked coating for durability and long wear.

*Sil-Ray, Gol-Ray and Two-Tone badges are specially coated. This crystal-clear coating is UV and abrasion resistant.
