Bought some old headlights for the M. The inside of the headlight had water in it and the reflector is bad shape but not terrible condition.

Question: Can this be rechromed/resilvered? Thanks.

THESE reflectors are aluminium. Sand them wet with 240, thwn 360, then 600, then 1000, then 1500, then jeweler's rouge. The whole process takes maybe 45 minutes and you will have the shiniest reflector you ever saw.

You can trade your old ones in on newly plated reflectors at Pilot Knob Restorations. He allegedly has a web site but I have never been able to get it to come up. He advertises in Red Power Magazine and his phone number is 815-777-0826.

I cleaned up the ones for my H and got a rattle can of chrome paint from my local Home Depot. Sprayed them and they look like new. They also reflect light as well as new ones would. HTH Larry
