Gaige Cluster Chrome

I am using a Basic Gauge Panel from a 1967 to create my “Custom Cluster”. The “chrome” edge is in great shape, “no cracks”. However, the “chrome” is worn. What is the best way to get that “Chrome” edge back? Thanks, Joe Bob.

Talking

I would try locating a source for "Vacuum Metalizing". There are some companies around that do the process. It will probably be cheaper to buy a new gauge bezel, though.

Yeah, Rick's sells them for 25 bucks, to get your stock one redone, will probably cost over 100. Just dashes is a company that does this.
