farmer52 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I was able to get a good close-up of the chrome issue on the "NOS" grille. I tried some chrome polish and it seems to help but you can still see the fine "pits" in the chrome, not a smooth mirror finish. Bottom pic is before polish. Thoughts?

Vladislav Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The thoughts are the only sad thoughts: a new one or re-chroming. Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Sometimes old chrome could be saved with very careful use of triple 0 steel wool to remove imperfections.Doubtful with chromed plastic.Maybe practice with "chrome" paint from the hobby store? It may be suitable for just very small parts though. Paul or Pawel would know more.Several video clip on chrome plastic on Youtube which may give you some ideas.

jackb61sx Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 If its that pitted after polishing I would look to have it redone. I am looking to do the same with my turn signals, can't get crome ones so plan to send them out and have rechromed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks for the comments. I agree....likely choice is rechrome. Still looking for NOS parts but so far no luck.

ws721 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Wow. I thought my moving up a model would mean easier parts availability. It's a pain in the you know what when you cant find the parts you need. Glad my MH didn't sell now that im using it 1 Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!
