I'm currently restoring a '75 MKIII. The rear wheel rim, like so many others, has been damaged by battery acid over the the years. Therefore, I'm considering getting it rechromed. Since I'm doing this, I'm also considering getting the spokes replated. Any ideas of what the plating on the original spokes was? I'm thinking it was a dullish grey (cad?) from photos I've seen. I don't want to overrestore the bike by installing spokes that are too bright and shiny, pretty though they are.
