age plastic plateing - 12-07-2007, 08:32 AM


Pretty soon he should be trading the Amphi for a deVille or
other vehicle befitting his age. -That's funny right now My favorite car
is a white four door Buick LeSabre, with bench seat!!!! *** has anyone
sent out their marine light for rechromeing? If so how did it look?

I stripped one and repaintedthe interior using a "chrome" paint from the hobby shop, Dave. Then repainted the lenses. It turned out OK, but looks more like 'pot metal' than glistening chrome. The paint doesn't seem to peel as fast as the original chrome. I though there could be mold release left on the original plastic, before chrome, but one would suspect the chemical would clean it off during chroming. --Larry
