Topic: instrument panel

[silverelvis69]

Hi guys,
Has anyone freshend up their instrument panel?
the outer rings of the trim? - can you use an chrome pen? or is the outline gold?

Many thanks

Outer (green arrow) ring? 

A chrome paint will likely work ok though originally I believe it was a vacuum coated foil like finish. Mylar tape or sheets could be used to replicate but is not a fun job given the round shape and the sheets or film you can purchase that I'm aware of

I had my outer trim rings vacuum plated 20 years ago and they still look new.  I used a company in BC CA, but I don't think they are in business any longer.

I had mine done at Vacuum Orna-metal about 4 years ago. They did a great job.

+1 on Vacuum Orna-Metal.
Close to the same price as a new repop, so why bother?
