Fog Lamp Reflector Rechroming?
Does anyone know of an outfit which can rechrome the fog lamp reflectors? I cleaned mine up and sprayed them with reflective aluminum from Eastwood with limited results...not mirror-like as with the originals!
Alternatively, and I know probably unlikely, any suppliers out there with replacement reflectors? Thanks! Mike |
Try polishing them. (Can't hurt, right?) Now that you've got a shiny coating, a polish might just get them as reflective as you want them!
A good metal polish might do the job. --DD |
Mike,
The place you want to go is Steve's Auto Restorations Inc. in Portland Oregon.# is 503-665-2222.These guys Manufacture 33-34 Steel Ford street rod bodies,and the antique headlight housings.They strip and Re-Silver any size reflector known.I sent them a pair of reflectors off of the euro driving lights on my 914/6 about 2 month's ago and they came back looking beautiful.They are not chromed,they can be described as a highly polished silver.You have to send them in to get an exact price quote,but on mine the total ran $123.00 for the pair,shipping and everything,and I live on the East coast.They also have a really informative web site that has size estimates for re-silvering.www.stevesautorestorations.com.They were good guys,easy to deal with and my driving lights are really bright.They probably have enough manufacturing capability to stamp out Waynes flares?hint Hope it helps, Ron |
Mike,
Tuxedo Park, New York. We're neighbors, I live in Hewitt, NJ. Glad to see another teener in the rust belt. |
On a related note.....
