Chrome middle vents bezel
Was doing some resto work on the bezel that houses the middle A/C vents and the wiper switch on my 73. The black paint had the usual scratches and little lacquer thinner revealed beautiful chrome under the black paint,..so I removed all the paint.
Question,..did GM paint over the chrome or did Bubba? Would the chrome look better or would it look better painted black? I can't decide, but leaning towards leaving it chrome.
Thanks,
Wes

If the vents are black it's been painted.
EDIT* if the OUTSIDE (not the fins) are not chrome looking ....as mine are plastic, then it has been painted
I have a couple stock vents and a couple painted ones.... you can usually tell if its been painted
Am I making sense? Because I lost myself about 5 edits ago....
