The whole dash was not chromed, just the highlights.

I have not seen anyone really advertise this service?

I have mine all tore apart - and ready to paint it - just stuck on going the chrome route vs the silver paint?

anyone else? </div></div>

Instrument specialties( American muscle car restorations) in RI does outsatanding dash chrome!!! Just got a 71 chevelle dash back from them and it is beautiful!! Pricey..but very very nice.

Here's my Nova dash that just came back from Instrument Specialties. They did a beautiful job.

Eddie,
The 69 Camaro (and Nova) cluster only had the chrome highlights. The whole cluster was not chromed and then painted.

Paul,
Looks nice. What did that cost?
