dublet Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Doesn't the lens usually crumble if you dismantle the lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threepot Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I've had loads of plastic and glass lensed light units apart. 140 degree's in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes makes the glue nice and soft. Sometimes you have to have a 2nd or even a 3rd oven session to get them unbonded all the way round. But I have spoke to loads of chroming/coating businesses all over the place, and nowhere can re-chrome a plastic inner reflector. If they are metal then you can get them re-chromed.

Mondo Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 You need to have these vacuum metalised to rechrome them. That's how the finish is achieved from the factory. And it aint cheap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
