Default Re: SS STEERING WHEEL HORN SHROUD QUESTION

The bands were originally heat-transfer chrome foil. It dulled quickly to a silver appearance, eventually wore off. Very common to touch it up with a silver paint marker. Looks better but not OE.

I believe the chrome foil can be acquired through car model suppliers.

Good stuff. I've used it on a couple of dash touch-ups.
