We still have a limited supply in black. Factory made the originals in a white plastic, so when we 1st made ours we did a black so you could have both. The problem is that it required a lot more chrome to coat the black. So we have a large amount of rejects due to runs and uneven application. We no longer make the plastic in black and the reject rate is much smaller. So once these are gone they are gone.
The beauty of making them in black plastic is that rock chips will not expose the material below, and it's not white! https://914rubber.com/black-fog-light-grille-set-1 Attached image(s)

On model cars when we want to remove chrome from plastic parts we use bleach. works like a champ. Just soak them in cheap bleach and the chrome comes right off. Some ppl just toss parts in and let them sit overnight. I usually soak them when I'm doing other stuff and keep and eye on things. usually takes a few hours.
TBH I JUST learned this and did a set of chrome wheels I wanted to look like cast aluminum. Kelly |
