1952-1956 K and KH
Note: the 1953 Standard Solo option is covered separately

Here we will describe the correct finishes for the K-model parts.
We've divided the parts into the sections as they occur in the Spare Parts Catalogs.

Mark Strong (MS) has painstakingly compiled the K-model finishes
based on the research he has done while restoring his 1956 KH.

Starting in April 2022, the Finishes Committee (see above)
are reviewing the results,
and making small, but important changes.

If you disagree with anything here, please post on the Forums.

Note: Part numbers shown are merely representative for a particular part. We show only the first part number used for a part, and do not attempt to show all the changes in suffix (e.g. -52, -54), revision (e.g. -52A, -52B), or changed base numbers.
