Do I or don't I...........?  Group: Members Posts: 5,899 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States  |
i Recently acquired a pair of factory-new front turn signal buckets from Camp914. No doubt about it, they are sweet, but I expected something more brilliat than my 38 year old originals - no fault to Camp914. Just didn't realize that my originals were that preserved!
Regardless, my question is this - how was the "chrome" finish applied to the inside? It's obvious to me that it was some sort of spray compound (see the pic with the pronounced overspray). In 1978, I removed my original buckets for an impending respray of the body. At that time, as and old fart recalls, the exterior finish of the buckets looked like it needed refurbishing, so I sprayed them with light gray & clearcoated them (that also shows in the pics). I swear - it looks like the "chrome" finish was a spray-on. What did they use? Where can I get some? Look at the pics. The grubby exterior is original. The painted finish is my effort.
