Re: Console Top Restoration

Dealing with pot metal chrome restoration is an expensive business. To do it 
correctly the piece must be thourally cleaned and dripped in copper until 
all the pits are filled. Then you chrome it.
Its expensive. Many thanks to EPA regulations and government intervention.

Doug;

I am in the process of doing my console for a  1965 Coronet 500. I
appreciate the heads up on areas to be painted black.

I am talking with an outfit in RI to possibly doing the whole console
or at-least part of it. They are a little pricier than i thought but
than a gain anything dealing with chrome seems to be expensive.

Looking forward as to how you resolve the roughness issue.

Jim

1965 Coronet 440 CI.

Has anyone re-chromed and repainted their console/shifter top plate

I had my re-chromed and considering next steps for etching primer,
filler primer.
The metal surface under all the original paint is much rougher than I
thought!
Thanks,Doug in Seattle
