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

I'm really not interested in seeing chrome cars and Coke bottles . Why don't you chrome paint a bezel for us and show us the results ?

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"
