instrument cluster restore

Much better than the old "Bumper Chrome" spray paint that people used to use, which was never very shiny.
I have a can of Krylon Premium "Silver Foil Metallic", stating "True Metal-like Finish". It is a thin 8 oz can I bought maybe 10 years ago at Ace. Perhaps they renamed it. I used it to recoat the plastic armrests in my 1965 Newport, which came out as shiny as chrome.

Prior to that, for my 1965 Dart instrument cluster, I removed all the factory chrome (real or paint?) by soaking in SuperClean (Walmart) for a few days (recommended by model builders). The base plastic was yellowish. I took them to a chromer in Sacramento who uses a chemical coating process, more like spray painting. I had read about it and saw youtubes. They charged $105 for all the dash plastic and it looked just like chrome plating. Indeed, it is claimed more rugged. The cluster in my 1964 Valiant looked OK, so I didn't paint it when I had it on the bench. I don't know if factory coating or someone sprayed it. I would have tried the Krylon spray if it needed it. Probably best to strip it to raw plastic first. Probably a spray of plastic adhesion primer first (Ace) would be best. The Krylon can mentions primer, but looks like just the boiler-plate instructions for all their spray paints.
