chrome paint
Still on the lookout how to restore 'chrome' strips, I came across this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL4IYoxJqu4 the winner with the funny name, Spaz Stix, seems to give good results. I may get a can and test it out on some scrap plastic, leave it outside to see how it weathers.

I R&R'd a C5 A6 a little while ago and got good results polishing the strips with ordinary polishing compound and a battery drill. Not perfect, but considerably better than they were

My plan was to strip off the anodised layer, polish the aluminium and coat with POR15 2K, as I mentioned here:
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showpost....14&postcount=6 .... buying a spare set of chrome trims to experiment with is about as far I've got so far though.
