They looked like they were pretty pitted before. Ya, you wouldn't want to pay the price to have them completely redone inside and out. Pot metal just sucks after it is damaged like that.
I agree. Those areas are never seen once installed. It would be like expecting the inside of a re-chromed bumper to look like the outside.
It would be an odd request to have those covered areas of the backup lens housing look like the exterior surround around the lens. I'm sure they would do it if the customer requested ($$$$$$$).
Could the original poster post pictures of the parts before chroming???
Paul's is expensive. I can see how someone's expectations could run rampant.
You're not going to find many places to chrome those for under $100 with light pitting on visual surfaces. Those looked to have very heavy pits, but pics would tell the story.
Big pits are pieces of the original pot metal corroded away. Missing pieces of the original metal.
