dash bezel crome?

I've tried chrome in a can. Works OK as a ten footer provided you don't try to seal it. (top)
I've tried aluminum tape. Holds up well under heat, unlike mylar, and can be burnished in to include fine details. Does not go around corners well. Tough to get seams right.
Sent the cluster to Mr. G's in Fort Worth plus the requisite check and got one of his in return. (bottom)
Both have appliques that are of the DIY variety.
