I have a 74 Fury which has plastic headlight bezels. They need to be rechromed. The little research that I have done shows that most places process for rechroming plastic won't hold up on exterior pieces. Does anyone have a recommendation for someone that can do this ?

It can be done but I don't know anyone in the USA that can/will do it. try contacting Moparts member Domingo, he lives in Peru where there are sources that can do it (if they/he are willing to). The most difficult aspect will be stripping off the old chrome, that may be the biggest issue preventing it from being possible.

the guy that sells the restoration paints at the car shows does them, pretty sure its brandon enterprises, do a google search and see if you come up with anything.

Probably be easier and cheaper to find NOS bezels.

I just had some interior bezels chromed through Vaccuum Orna metal. They did a great job and decent priced. Dunno if they can do the exterior stuff but its worth a try!

That looks like it would work. I'll call them, thanks.
