Repair Chrome Trim?


Recommended Posts

I got a chrome trim set about a week ago. I noticed that on the driver's side light bracket there were a few rusty pinholes shining through the nice chrome. Can this be repaired or is it condemned to the trash heap?

Light bracket? Are you talking about the retainer ring that holds the headlight into the bucket? If so, it's not chrome, it's stainless steel. If it has holes in it, throw it away and get another.

Hah, thanks for keeping an eye out. Unfortunately, due to extravagant shipping to AK, I'd pay out about 25 bucks for that thing total. And there are no such things as pick-n-pulls here. Junkyards are few and expensive. But thanks!

That part is plastic, and the plating on it is not chrome ... it's "chrome-like." Whatever blemishes you see, they aren't rust because plastic doesn't rust.

 

Given your location, I'd say just clean it up, wax it, and drive it.
