Armrest Bases

Problem: The armrest bases weren’t cracked, but the chrome plating had worn off.

Solution: Repop armrest bases are available for many cars, including the Bel Air, but we’ve been warned that the quality and fitment is questionable in some cases. If your bases aren’t cracked (ours were in almost perfect shape), or even if they have some minor damage that can be repaired with epoxy, it costs about the same to have them replated. Plastic replaters charge under $20 per base depending on the size of the piece.

What We Did: Sent them out to be replated.
