see above pictures in my post they were cleaned with the Original yellow cap easy off oven cleaner. no sanding involved just spray (cover with paper towel) wait for a while and scrub off, may take a couple of coats to even get rid of the crumbly chrome. then spray chrome and detail plus it leaves the part with a nice shint smooth surface for spray chroming. here's some that were cleaned and sprayed.

total price was
200.00 spray chrome (if I see flaws or it peels he'll reshoot the chrome) the radio bezel didn't come out good when I taped it and he's reshooting that after i strip it back down. (with him using 2k paint for the base and clear easy off is struggling but it's working (slowly with many coats) to remove the stuff.
7.00 1 can of argent silver (really the wrong color but I liked it!)
5.95 1 can of satin black from krylon. matched the plastic glove box locking piece really close.
so for 213.00 plus 2 bucks tax on the 12.95 for paint and time I have a nice set of bezels.
