Hi. For this part, is there a recommended way to remove the overspray, from the chrome. Thank you.

FB285R 1977 Grille, Trans Am and Formula, RH (RE)....... 139.00/ea.

FB285L & FB285R exhibit minor flaws from the chroming process and
slight overspray may be evident. Quality is still considered very good.

The key is to be careful. We have tried a few methods in the past. Mask off any painted areas around the chrome in order to prevent damage, and use a mild reducer on a cue tip to lightly brush over any over spray. Then clean the chrome with a light cleaning solution. Like I said, it is key to be careful not to damage the chrome, as it will scratch and distort easily.

Thank you. What is a mild reducer. :-)

A medium reducer designed for paint will do.

Just a hypothetical, but these are not cheap items. Can you not inform your supplier to do a better job in the manufacturing process or you will not accept them, thus not having to explain to the end user how to fix a known problem ?

We always notify the manufacturers when there is a problem. The factories build thousands of one specific item at a time. Hence the reason we have to wait until the next run for a problem to be fixed. We are on top of every defect that comes across our desks, sometimes it just takes a little more time to fix.
