XQIZT Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Depending on what the "scratches" look like, Metal Polish 1&2 will be your best friend. Then you can use Brilliant Glaze on metal surfaces. That'll make it pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PedalMINI Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 or you could just black out the chrome [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLdj4mlDC_g&feature=player_embedded]PlastiDip on Window Trim - Black Out Chrome Window Trim on Your Car - Dipyourcar.com - YouTube[/ame] i just blacked out my trim on the mini, however they sell special black out kits for Minis, i think in your case you will have to plastidip them.

BlueGenCoupe Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The trim on your window is a chrome tape...its not actual chrome. You really wont be able to do much to perfect that. You can try MP 1 & 2, but I don't see that doing anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K3RMiTdot Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 I bought plasti-dip, its sitting in my garage... my doorhandles are chrome too, and i really dont want to plasti dip my handles, it looks kind of ghetto... but at the same time i want it to match.. ill give it some more thought. Is it worth trying 1&2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egott_91 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think your best option with the door handles would be to get them painted the color of the car. Shouldn't be too expensive since they are small parts and will blend with the car. That way you can take care of them just as you would the paint.

THE Mook Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I would just BG them and be done. I don't know about how thin that "chrome coating" is. You may end up rubbing it right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
