Do it your self chrome spray restoration.

[gip63]

       My tail light bezels (housing what ever) needs a little touch up chrome wise.  The part is plastic, and from what i can tell hard to find and if you did would cost a arm and other various body parts.   Has anyone tried to rechrome plastic parts on their car and if so what success have you had?  I have seen a spray on chrome system on line but know nothing first hand about it.  If this worked well i could see me using it on several other parts.

IMHO, $200 for the trim on a tail lamp or gauge cluster is not cost effective.

Well, I guess it depends on how many applications you can get out of a can.

I know old Mr. G's plastic chrome work is NOT cheap.

if you think will be able to rechrome all the cluster edges, passenger side insert, T handle button and trim, SE grilles and whatever else.... maybe worths the price.

Wondering about durability over the friction. Repro T handles button and trim didn't last long a S**T on a driver car ( BTDT )

  Truth is there are only two very small places that need touched up.  I saw where there is some chrome finger nail polish out there and it might do just what i need.  But I’m still going to look into bigger application products.  Wonder why you don’t see tail light housings for sale or in reproduction anywhere, at least I haven’t?

a year and a half waiting for the grilles on COMING SOON status at Classic industries, so you can figure out the tail light housings!!!

yes there are used tail light housings... SE... Rob Olzanski have them ( can't recall his ID on here ). I saw them on eBay quite ago
