Whats the proper silver to paint the silver part that surrounds the plastic area?

Also who makes the replacement gasket for this?

Thanks

The part you're pointing to is CHROME...No paint required.

71TA (a member here) makes the best gaskets in the world.
Look on EBay and be sure you're getting DMT gaskets.

Okay then, then who is good at re-chroming or restoring this?

Cheaper to find good used ones or buy the new reproduction ones from BE&A

I can go with that, how do you take these apart without breaking them?

The 4 small phillips head screws need to be removed. Be sure to use a good screwdriver to fit the head of the screw.
