Repairing “chrome” plastic parts
« on: March 19, 2018, 03:21:34 PM »
Has anyone ever used one of the vendors that repair and rechrome plastic parts?
I have about 11 magnum 500 center caps that I would like to get redone. All are scratched, chrome is worn off and most are missing a pin or two that holds then to the wheel
Any suggestions?  I know I can get repos but I am slowly sliding down that rabbit hole of NOS stupidity
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

I've used Instrument Specialties in the past with great success. They may not be the fastest shop, but their completed work was excellent.
