Thank you all for the tips and pointers you shared with me a while back. I feel like my first try went decently well! Here are some pics of how it went:
Before:
After:
Certainly not perfect, but I'm happy with it. Total cost was about 55 bucks or so for some Rustoleum chrome paint, satin black, play-doh, and the woodgrain sticker. This cluster is from my brother's high school car, so it meant a lot to me bringing it back to life. It'll be going in my 1974 Plymouth Duster I'm working on.
Play-Doh, you ask?
I'm actually pretty proud of this one. lol I couldn't think of a way to mask the insides of the instrument windows properly to re-chrome the surrounding rings, so I smooshed playdoh in them, and sprayed over it. It worked perfectly. You guys probably know something better. lol
