340-S Hood inserts who "restores" them ?

Get them smoothed out and rechromed then repaint or powder coat. Chroming them comes first. Then tape them off , Etch them and then paint them. Powder coat would replace the paint not the chrome. Powder chrome just don't have the same depth. But to each his own I guess.

Actually, powder coating pot metal is something most coaters avoid like the plague because it's full of trapped air, mixed metals and impurities, making the outcome impossible to predict. The thicker the part, the more likely it's going to blow up into a minefield of bubbles. Hood inserts CAN be done but it's a risk only the owner can decide to take. The owner of these inserts was delighted with the results.
