Restoring "chrome" stipe on standard door panels
ruppstang:
I have some 1968 standard red door panels that are in great condition except the chrome is pealing off the plastic trim strip.
Any ideas on how to replace or restore the chrome strip?

Does this stuff look like it has any promise?

I think it would be tough to go around bends without wrinkling. Maybe search for a thermoforming mylar adhesive tape?

I tried a tape like that last weekend and it did not stick very well and would not form around the corners. I have not tried any paint products yet.

Try chrome pin striping.
