What was the conditon of the original plates in the 60's? Painted or metal finish?

Mine is painted originally, like many others I've seen.

Mine's definitely painted. That part of the bus, thankfully, still OG paint.

Painted. The ones I've had or my friends, brothers etc.. have had are painted anyway.

Thanks, fast answers to all your questions as usual :D

Saves me some work, thought I might have to strip paint, but now I can go have coffee instead

It was screwed onto the bus before the bus was painted. If you remove one, you break the paint loose from the screws. The backside of the plate is bare, and there is a bare area on the bulkhead where the plate was.
