72 outer grille re-chrome/anodize..??

I've a got a straight, original outer grille shell on my 72, but the finish is kinda hazy and dull... is it possible to have it re-finished for less than a new repro...???

I see where some guys are spraying them with oven cleaner and then polishing but I'd rather go new if that were the only alternative...

thanks for any input.

You can have them redone, I did mine though they have to polish it up first and it makes it thinner/weaker....the bezels are chrome... Like I said I did mine and it looked great!
