68 Charger Rear Trim

[john108]

The trim shown in this picture wraps the side of one or the tail lights.  Is it Stainless or chrome plated.
It is very badly pitted.  Is there any hope for it.  What can be done?

Those are pretty rough. They repop those pieces

Chrome plated pot metal.
Your choices are either 1) finding NOS (good luck), 2) clean used pieces & having them rechromed, or 3) as NH has referenced above the reproduction pieces.

Thanks guys.
It is funny that the long trim piece, that runs between the 2 sides of the car, is in an order of magnitude better condition.  But Still not good.
I once thought that most of the Charger trim was stainless??  These are the worst pieces (the 4 shown on the beaparts image).

The top & bottom longer pieces ARE stainless. Then can be repaired & polished if they have small dings or imperfections.
I know the top piece is also being reproduced, not sure about the bottom piece.

The top piece looks good.
The bottom piece could use a good buffing.
