Its flaking off and the red plastic underneath is revealing itself. At first glance it looks like red over spray. I can't get a photo now they are in my attic. Is this common? Time to replace or can the be painted/plated?

From my scale modeling days, I can tell you that there is a product that helps make metal sheets adhere to plastic. It has been 25 years, but I used it to apply metal sheets, very thin, to plastic planes to make them look like aluminum and other metals.
I can't remember the name, but others may know of it. John |
