Noticed that several bezels have a damaged finish on the shiny surface.
As an example the VolvoPenta single lever control has a square bezel around it ... with a shiny chrome effect finish.
It's a plastic trim so its not chrome or stainless, same for the bezel on the dash guages. It has dotted and pitted 'corrosion' damage.
Does anybody have a treatment for it, any sanding or polishing is not going to work.

In that auto restoration world they have a chrome paint. Not the fake rattlecan stuff but a real 4 or 5 layer process but I bet it aint cheap. Can do black or red chrome colors too
