Hey you guys - if you need the chrome trim replaced you can use a product called "Bare-Metal Foil". We use it a lot in the hobby world and you can usually order it online or maybe find it at some of your better Hobby shops.
There are tutorials on Youtube on how to use it and it comes in different flavors to include chrome.
Its easy to apply and can be put on curved surfaces without any problem. Self-adhesive also.
Should do the trick for all you guys that have the chrome interior trim.

I'm also tempted to try this out on a set of cast armrest tips, just to see how it works.

In the below photos, the left piece was vacuum-aluminized, the one on the right was SpectraChromed.

Waffles - hmmm good

The 'good' set I made were in fact SpectraChromed. That was by the supplier that was so difficult to work with, & expensive. Finish looked very good, though. Had a small drip bubble on the bottom of one, but it is invisible when installed.

special dual nozzle spray gun, extra equipment may be needed to help with the
spraying.

A few shots for SA groupie's. The GS interior has an old Grant whl and new(er) shift & ebrake boots. I don't remember where I sourced that piece of foam on the ebrake handle, but I wished I'd have saved a few more feet of it. The Limited interior shows the original blue / grey velour pretty accurately. Doesn't look like it, but that blue is a bitch to match. Put blue beside it and it looks black. Put black beside it and it looks blue?

Hey DD would you foresee an issue with that trim for the doors if it is also threaded there?
This is May's interior and the chrome missing from the doors bugs me a little
excuse the need for vacuuming when photo was taken lol

I'm not sure how you'd stitch it on, Ray; it's very dense vinyl, be impossible to hook a needle through it. I'll get you some close-up pics of my last pieces of it tonight.
The early 79's had different trim, too - - a double-chrome line with a woodtone center, like on your dash there.

sorry I probably phrased poorly , I meant if it would stick to the thread portion of the panel. And of course you were correct on the 79 door trim, I was just brain storming ... yes it hurt a little
I need to tackle mine.

It's a leather sew on. I got it from Amazon. I used two kinds of paint. One was for hard plastic and the other was for vinyl surfaces. Both were just called "maroon". Found them online too. I can't remember the brand (I'm away on vacation now and can't access the cans, but they weren't SEM brand). When I get back in a week I can PM you with the brands of paint and steering wheel cover.
