Instrument Panel Bezel

Problem: The plastic bezel around the instrument cluster is in good shape, with no cracks or major flaws, but the chrome plating is mostly worn off.

Solution: Disassemble the bezel from the instrument cluster and send it out to be replated. The plater will fix any small cracks in the plastic with epoxy and rechrome it. When the piece comes back, it will be all chrome, so you may have to repaint areas that were originally colored. Take photos before you send the piece away. The clear plastic lens can be polished with special plastic polishing compound that you can get at from Meguire’s. Rechroming a bezel costs about $70, depending on the size of the piece. Armrest basics can also be done.

What We Did: Nothing right now, but eventually we may get it replated.
