Headlight bezel re-chrome
 
Don't know if this is the proper outlet to ask this question BUT....
Does anyone have an idea of what it would cost to have the headlight bezels of my SD t/a re-chromed? They are NOT pitted, its just with years of polishing the chrome has worn thin.
I'm debating whether to get the repro units that are available for around $180/pr. vs. the cost of rechrome.
If the dollar amount is not far out of line, it might be better just to stay with originals and get them serviced.
Thanks guys!

Larry,I think it depends on the condition of your originals.If they are pitted and they need to be drilled and filled the expense goes up REAL fast.Tom

Repops will be cheaper....small parts are pretty labor intensive to chrome ...at least thats what they told me when I walked out bleeding !

Well, the bezels are in perfect shape other than the THIN chrome.
Guess, i'll have to go repro....
Hope the fit and quality is good.

Had some done for a 70 RA4 we are doing for about 75 ea.

Now thats reasonable, considering the labor involved.
Knowing that I wouldn't have any fitment issues(like repros) this would do me just fine.
Where can I send these parts, Micky?

There's a Company over here,called Courtesy Metal Polishing 1-630-832-1862.I have taken many parts to him in the past,& he charged me $40.00 each to replate the 70 Chevelle headlight bezels.Vic & his brother own & run it,& I highly recommend them.

70-73 Camaro Headlight Bezels were Aluminum with a Brite-Dip Anodized finish. Has anybody had any experience getting these refinished with new "BRITE-DIP" ????? at what company and at what cost.....I'm aware of several companies listed in Hemmings doing the work, but just asking if anybody had actually gone through the process....
