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.
