Deluxe door panels
I did a search and found that the ABS door panels I intended on getting from Classic Ind. are not the best quality. My customers original '71 Cheyenne panels are in good condition with the exception of the chrome around the wood grain peeling off. The only reason for looking at new ones is because of the chrome. Is there any way to make these presentable? If not, what are the best repros out there?

Re: Deluxe door panels
You might try a roll of chrome mylar trim tape after peeling off the existing chrome. Get some 3M 94 primer and brush it on the piece, then cut and fit the tape over the piece. Trevor

Re: Deluxe door panels
You would have to experiment. You could maybe go to a vinyl wrap shop and see if they carry chrome vinyl material. It could be heat formed. Trevor

Re: Deluxe door panels
I believe that trim is stainless...have you tried polishing it? I use a die grinder with a 3" polishing wheel and green compound and it sure makes is look better than new!

Re: Deluxe door panels
Thanks for all the responses guys. The owner of the truck has now decided to go with the standard style panels since the truck will be semi-custom. So anyway, I suppose we will try and sell these at some point.
