Check out..Alsacorp.com... mekki.com...eastwood.com. then google chrome paint for cars and then google chrome paint for plastics.
and there's allways chrome vinyl wrap option or diy electro plating kit from electro plating kits.co.uk..
to repair/replace missing/damage chrome on your benzel. Or to chrome paint/etc a new freshly 3d printed benzel/etc. Cheers

Ill be watching with interest. currently rebuilding the mounting tabs on a Belcom LS-102 front panel, and unsure whether to repaint with chrome paint as there are some markings on the surround or leave it as "patina"

Hi bro Sammy thats where Google n utubey is your friend. Do the research and chrome paint one up
or send me a spare benzel and along with some green stampz and ill chrome paint it for ya.
or you can save $$$ on having to get a second mortgage
and do it yourself
then you can post your benzel rechroming/paint job project results here or in the diy thread .
