Chrome or anodized finish??
« on: April 29, 2015, 00:56:39 »
I was wondering what is the correct finish for the following trim items:

1) trim that is mounted to the windshield frame
2) rear 230sl badge and mercedes emblem
3) tail light frames and trim that mounts left and right of the tail light frame

The windshield surround in anodised but the other items are all chromed. The shape of the tail light inner trim when chromed sometimes can be warped in the chroming process due to its U shape so tell the chromer to be careful.  Have had this happen twice to these items.
