Bill
why dont you restore it yourself
I did mine and it came out geat. I first lightly glass beaded the shroud, then i painted it black with the spray can for the council paint.When dry I erased the paint
from the chrome accents with a pencil eracer (rought one)(slowly) to rub the paint off. Or you can use OOO steel wool
to slowly remove the paint.

PJ, That is actually a good idea to use the eraser. I am going to try it, as I have a couple of these to experiment with. Thanks for the help.
