Instrument cluster
On my 1790 GMC instrument cluster there is what appears to be a chrome finish around the outer edge and around the guage openings. Is this just a chrome paint? What is the best way to bring it back to life.

Re: Instrument cluster
 Old as it is (1790) Doubt there is much hope for it.

Re: Instrument cluster
there is no cost effective way to do it, but you can get a replacement one for 35 or so bucks.

Re: Instrument cluster
It`s not a paint.With repros so cheap,replacement`s the way to go.Before that,you could send them out and get them chromed,then you would redo the black paint or color on GMCs.

Re: Instrument cluster
Guess i'll just have to suck it up and get a new one rather than figure out how it's made, new one up in Canada is $95.00. Thx for the input .
