Does anyone know if there's a half decent "chrome" paint for my dash bezel?

The bezel is in great condition and its only for touch ups. A paint pen would be perfect.

there was just a thread about this about 2 weeks ago. the opinion was chrome nail polish or hobby store paint. there were also about 15 other options. Google is your friend..........

IMO,

you wont find anything thats going to replicate the chrome finish that was there from the start, yes you can do a home restoration and it may look good enough but it will be noticeable as soon as someone checks it out.

after several attempts to restore my bezels I ended up but a repop.

this is the stuff I used, it turned out decent for what it is if you lay it down right. Takes a little practice to get a chrome-like finish.

Thanks you!

I just used it and it turned out pretty dam good. Not perfect chrome that you'd get from a professional restoration shop, but definitely very passable.
