Default Pot Metal Repair and Replating

Has anyone had any chome pot metal parts repaired and replated and been happy with the results? I am looking at replating the long thin pieces that sit behind the t-tops as well as the larger corner pieces that hold the t-top guide pin bushings. None of these parts are available repro (other than the right side corner trim). Any help\pics are apprecited.

Thanks!!

Advanced Plating in TN does a very good job.

GSDiana,

Can you give me anymore information on that process, where you got the stuff and the actual name of the product used.

I've got a couple of bezels I'd love to repair or have repaired.

Thanks,
Rick

I didn't do the repairs...took it to the plater, who repaired the bezel.

That muggy weld looks like it'll do nicely, thanks for the link.
