Dave and Rich, Sorry, I lost track of this thread. I think I'm done for a while on the plugs. Passing the baton to Dave. Thanks, Scott

I will give away a trick I use and I am sure OTHER restorers use as well...

Zinc plate them then spray with ZINC COLD GALVANIZING then take a crumpled up paper or crumpled aluminum foil and "blot" at the surface to give it the spangled look.
The sharp edges of the paper replicate the crystaline look.

EXAMPLE...
