Ttotired Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Dumb question, but a bit new to buick, is that piece chromed steel? One of my cars is a 60 plymouth fury and that has lower 1/4 covers as well, but they are stainless Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Falabella Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 It's chromed pot metal and there are many tiny holes that the copper/chrome is not adhering to. I wish they were stainless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old-tank Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 http://www.alvinproducts.com/InTheNews/tabid/161/ID/13/Body-Filler-for-Electroplating.aspx This looks like a possibility and some of the tedious ($$$) work could be done by you. Or send to a different plater that specializes in pot metal ($$$$$$) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttotired Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Interesting looking stuff although it looks like it isnt available in Australia, but I would love to see how good it is and hear what a plater thinks about it Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
