Im trying to save the original interior panels for a 70 442 and the chrome trim in picture is the worst. Isn't there a thin chrome, mylar tape to replace this? Is it possible? Do interior restoration shops have an answer for this?

Thx

 

I had great results taping off the vents and center console and using Krylon silver metallic for the “chrome” finish trim . When its a smooth surface it really lays/shines nice. Finished it with a clear. A solid affordable easy option.

 

I know the tape is out there, I just can't seem to find it but thanks for your input.

 

Ooof, that's tough.
As painful as it would be, best bet would be to get Legendary on the phone, try to find someone that has a clue, and ask if they would sell the material.
I suspect it is bonded to the "wood" trim and the vinyl, so replacement would be quite hard.

I wouldn't use the paint for this surface. Paint works well on the flat plastic trim sections. But this rounded soft plastic with cracks? No.....

 

Maybe I will call them.
It just sucks because the rest of the original panel is pretty nice.

 

for the dash trim i found some 1/4" half round chrome stick on trim in a blister pack at advanceauto. maybe thay have a similar chrome flat trim ? I have seen a wide chrome tape but that would be painful to cut nicely

maybe hunt around ebay I saw this on there

 

Thanks for that, how did you look it up on ebay? I dont know what you call what Im looking for? Whats the name of that stuff?

 

if you try chrome trim tape youll get many matches you may have to modify the serach terms to get more in line w what you want like chrome trim trim tape chrome tape etc you get the idea
