Tail light restoration

[greenmachine]

I am getting to pull my tail lights for a deeper clean/restoration. I have no chrome players in the area for the bezels so I’m gonna try the VHT chrome paint epoxy.
Is the silver on the grill the same on the tail light housings? 1969 coronet. Thanks.

I am very interested in how it comes out.

I'd say it's about the same, here's the NOS.. still in the box... units I bought.

Used, OE and NOS

Close up that shows what my OE bezels look like and their original finish.. as you asked about those too.

NOS showing the silver..

So a touch of argent would be correct...yes?

 

[dadsbee]

LOL... do you know how many colours of Silver there really are.. I own most of them! LOL

I think Eastwood and year one sell what they call mopar argent silver...should be close? Or at least acceptable

Give it a whirl and let us know how it looks! I don't have the luxury of Eastwood up here.. can't ship paint across the border.

Do you think the originals would polish out decently? Mine are way more pitted. Will take pics.

I'll have to dig them out of the storage container and have a good look at them...and get you some better pics when I find some time.
