I think that the topic here is the disc that goes
under the emblem in the center of a flightsweep
decklid.
If so: Why pay $500,000 to have that reflector
repaired?
Seems to me that you could have a talented machinist
reprduce a new one out of a steel blank and have it
turn out PERFECT and ready to be plated.
I have not looked at mine lately, but those pot metal
folks charge a fortune, and there's no assurance that
your restored potmetal won't sprout more dimples in
the future.

when you get the chrome

makes reproduction
reflectors that are superb.
If you are not talking about those pieces, excuse me
for the intrusion.
