Default Re: Uvira Headlight Reflector Coating

Vacuum Orna-Metal only refinishes plastic parts, no metal parts. They do refinish headlight reflectors, but only the modern, plastic ones - on which they deposit chrome. Their results look very reflective in photos even though electroplating chrome on our antique metal reflectors reportedly doesn't seem to produce good results.

I'm continuing to dig around in hopes of finding an alternative to silver.
