Deadpurpledog Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 There are a few places with my interior where “chrome” outlines are losing shine and/or slightly pitted, I.e., rectangular block in front of passenger and outline of center console. Is there any way or refresh without removing dash and console, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way or refresh without removing dash and console, please? Photo of the problem area? Sometimes a Dremel tool with a buffer bit works. You gotta go lightly, though.

Deadpurpledog Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Thanks Keiser. I’m not very handy. . .any idea the kind of companies/specialists I can search for in Las Vegas, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlestown Mike Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 There are some newer "chrome" paint products that look very good and can be applied at home. They are not cheap,require some skill, and require several coats of specific colors to get the chrome appearance. There are also a few companies who use the original spray chrome process for plating plastic. I do not know specifics as I am still some time away from needing that service. From what I have read these companies are neither inexpensive nor speedy--but produce excellent results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin1221 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Check with the Las Vegas region of the AACA. They are an active group with a wide variety of cars. Nice group of friendly, knowledgeable guys. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 The only shop is A1 plating in Henderson if they are still around.They did mostly casino work. There are some weekend "Cars & Coffees" you can ask around to see if anyone has some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Check over in the Riviera forum - I think someone there found a chrome 'paint pen' that did a good job on the plastic outline edges on plastic, such as surrounding gauges on the dashboard. I want to say it was @RivNut who had tried it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
