scadaman29325, I personally haven't found a good way to "replace" the chrome that the manufactures use on their plated parts. Every company seems to use a different type of plating system, and it doesn't always look the same. You do have a few options though. There is a Testor's chroming system that is in a rattle can....I have never tried it, so can't give the scoop on it. Sometimes just touching it up with a little bit of silverchrome paint works, but I find it rarely matches, and unless it's in a spot that someone will notice, you'll be able to see it. Also you can try the bare metal foil chrome.....I've used Bare Metal Foil, but not on a car yet, I do like the look of the foil for what I've used it for so far. And if you wanna get hardcore, you can actually send the pieces out to get chromed at www.chrometechusa.com again, I have never tried this, and it may not be the best thing for a beginner. But I thought you could use all of the options I know of......now here's what I do.....Strip the chrome off by soaking it in bleach for an hour or so, use a toothbrush to clean out the indentations and such where the bleach didn't get it, and then repaint it with Silver chrome. That way I don't have to worry about screwing up the plating, and I can always touch it up. Hope that helps, and don't forget to show us the pics when you get a chance!!!
