I did some Cibie Biodes a few years back, gently got the lenses off, scotched them down and put some light coats of chrome spray on them. You really couldn't tell they'd been done.

ive actually got to do one of mine.my intentions are to rub the insides down etc, and then use some high temp silver paint that my mate sprayed his powdercoating oven with.no reason for the high temp bit, its just the 'silveryness' of the paint seemed just right.gotta be worth a go, they're knackered anyway, so cant make it worse! ;D

Ashford Chroming will re-silver headlights. I had a quote for a pair of completely shot headlights (no chrome left at all!) This was to remove the glass, clean up the reflector, polish the surface, rechrome and refit the lenses. £120...which sounded like a lot, but knowing what's involved in restoring a set of pitted reflectors this is actually pretty good. www.ashfordchroming.com/Very helpful people and will give a rough quote over the phone, with a more accurate one on supply of photos. |
