ck_2, yes, I was referring to chrome that has pitting and in some cases, is dented & chipped. Usually, when the black paint within the protection of the fins needs repainting, you will find that the chrome needs attention as well. If you are powder coating your wheels, then I would recommend getting a new set of caps ($269 plus shipping on eBay) unless it is a concourse restoration you are after. If you are just going for a driver, then repainting the black within the fins is good, but you may find that the chrome just doesn't measure up. Charlie 69 RS
