Default Re: Plastic rechrome recommendations

Thanks for all the info.

Rick: I've talked to CV and they kind of backed off when I told them I was picky. They said the dash would not be concours quality (???). Mr. G's said they would just plate it and I could detail it, but they wouldn't stand behind it. I understand that. The lukewarm (at best) reviews on this site for Mr. G's is a warning sign.

I'll check out your recommendation.

Incidentally, when I did the dash on my 18k mile LS6, I did all the "chrome" in aluminum leaf. The small areas on the 70 dash respond very well to this and I believe my dash is extremely close to factory stock appearance - nice and bright. It compares very well to my 12k mile 70 SS 396 which is mint-mint. When you're a control freak like me, you have to do it all yourself! Of course the 65 Chevelle dash has much too large an area for the aluminum leaf approach.

Dave
