I sent mine out to be chrome plated. But 1st I filled in the recesses areas with silver solder where the emblems where and machined smooth, also cut off the round knobs and made new ones that where more modern and beefier, soldered those on too. (Didn't like the bolt on knobs) After I got them back from the plater, sent them out and had just the knobs powder coated purple to match dash

I have seen some of them that had been blasted then polished that looked pretty nice afterwards... something to think about if you want a cheap alternative.

Looks good! That works if your controls are Kieks like yours, which are SS. The Livorsi's like mine are brass.

Remove and disassemble them, and take to a local plater of your choice. Yours will be brass like mine where.
