My dash had the chromed dash bezel rings on it and the chrome was starting to fail. I contacted a guy named Bob at ChromeTech who re-chromes plastic dash parts and asked if he could chrome some rings for me. He asked if mine were originally chromed or if they were originally black. I said I had my original chrome ones but was thinking of keeping them for the original patina and just sending him an extra set of black rings I had. He said he could not chrome the black ones. He said he had tried many times, but GM must have used some special type of paint because he could not get the chrome to stick, so he would not even try; however, he said if I sent him my original chrome rings he could chemically strip them and re-chrmoe them. So, I sent them off to be re-chromed and they turned out very nice.
