Does anyone have any thoughts on how to restore the reflective (mirror like) finish inside the front turn signal (metal) and on the rear tailight assemblies (plastic)...

I believe Eastwood carries a chrome spray paint, and probably your FLAPS. As with all painting, proper surface preparation is the key to good adhesion. If you want to go the more authentic route, a plating shop can redo the metal, and check out some of the advertisers in Hemmings Motor News or other old car publications who will rechrome plastic pieces. Replating will be significantly more $$$$$ than paint.

Good to hear, I bought a can to try on the reflector portion of my tail lights and front turn indicators.
I have a fiberglass rear bumper that will be going on my car. I'll paint it body color but I considered "chroming" it using MonoKote. Anyone ever use MonoKote on cars before? |
