    I need to restore the headlight bezels and have them repaired, re-chromed and painted. Does anyone know a good reputable place to restore them?

    @gsfred had an NOS pair for sale that would probably be less expensive than restoring yours.

    I will get in touch with Fred and see if he still has them. Thanks Dano!

    I had Nick White get a pair rechromed a few years ago, then had them painted locally. You could check with him. Mine were not really pitted, so they made good candidates for rechroming.

    Good Luck,

    Aih in Dubuque Iowa did my mirrors, bumpers , bezels n console insert. They Use to do all of Kleiners chrome. Not cheap but real nice work. I have 1 set of nos if Fred can’t help u out I haven’t seen many who can rechrome w/o losing the center accent But aih did without over buffing the piece

    This is the condition of my bezels. There’s some pitting and damage around the chrome accents. Not sure if that could be repaired and rechromed back to original. Fred is away for 2 months and I’m still looking for NOS ones if I can find some. If not, then I would have to send mine out for rechroming.
