Marshall Gold Finish?

Can anyone tell me what marshall use on the inside of their amps, on the metal plating i mean, not the strong gold paint on the front and back panels, but on the inside around the tubes.

Are you inquiring about the light goldish color chasis? It is probably nickle plating...as customary for a lot of electrical hardware.

Yeah the finish around the tubes on the chassis, i know its not nickel plating. I phoned up the marshall spares department and they told me it was lacquer. I just have no idea where to get that colour lacquer. Might just stick to clear lacquer.

The gold finish appears to me to be CAD plating, used on carburetors and the like in vintage autos. You can get a spray-bomb kit from an auto refinisher supply store such as Eastwood. Good Luck

Yeah it does look like it is this, but this stuff is...pretty damn expensive.
