Restoring Dash Bezel ???

I recovered all the woodgrain in my 67 with adhesive backed laminate (sign material) I bought off ebay. It's been in over 4 years and still looks great.
It's not a perfect match to factory burlwood but is a prefect match to other factory and aftermarket burlwood.
I'm wanting to try the Alsa products Killer Chrome but total for the 5 Killer cans required is 205 bucks. Sure thats less than true vacuum plating but a gamble as well. Those "Killer" cans contain enough material to cover 10 square feet and have NO shelf life after initial use so I'm trying to get enough pieces prepared so to use up all the material I paid for.
