Chrome Platting Bezel
65 F100 Custom Cab.: took 6 of the instrument bezel to platting shop for quote on cost of chroming; OMG, found the cost of plating 2 bezels 2 1/2" cost more than if I were to purchase a new gauge. I left 2, now have 4, if possible I do not care to toss. Thought I would check if members have found a 'chrome platting' diy kit that is close in appearance to chrome, Eastwood offers a kit 'Extreme Chrome Powder Coat Bonding kit', however reviews are mixed and 'how to' instructions are not included in the item description?
Posting pic, bezel appears exceptionally bad, I have used my bench buffer and very mild buffing compound and cleaned majority of the pitting; unfortunately, the chrome platting over the nickle is paper thin and as a result of buffing nickle is beginning to show thru.
Anyhow, thought I would check, appreciated suggestions and or comments appreciated!!.
