Restore plastic chrome and gauges

[slant six]

I had Instrument Specialties do the complete Gauge Bezel on my '62 Valiant. - Came back Great.
I did all of the Knobs myself as they are an Ivory plastic on that car and was able to clean them back to new with AJAX / Comet cleaner and a toothbrush.


Thanks for Sharing on Vacuum Orna-Metal, Will have to look into them as well!

Would you post some close ups of the white paint on the lettering, and did the get the argent in the right places.


They look great BTW

Yes, I will post some closeups early in the week.

That looks as good as factory. Thanks

If you don't mind me asking... how much was the cluster bezel?

 

[mygasser]

is that the silver nitrate 'paint' system for the chrome parts?
neil.

About the price of a repo, but with the quality of OEM!

Here is a true chrome paint, it’s a two part deal first black then chrome and yes you can buy spray cans of it.

Have you or any other members used these kits and what's the coverage like? For what I'm trying to do, the 2oz bottles probably aren't enough, but a full spray can may be too much. I guess better too much than not enough.
