Could someone tell me what the grey finish is on the inner area of the tailights? The grille also has this same grey finish in some areas. A manufacture or paint supplier name would be great. Mine are scratched & need to be re-done. Thanks
I know the finish you are talking about. Almost every commercial "chrome in a can" never looks like chrome, it looks just like the taillight housing surface. Mine are a satin silver with a slight texture. I tested a few chrome rattle cans on plastic recently and didnt get great results, but I did get an perfect match for that surface. I bought 5 brands, all from Canadian Tire and 4 of the 5 matched.(in my opinion). I dont know what product was used at the factory.
Thanks for the reply. I restore muscle cars for a living & have never dealt with this finish either. I now live in Michigan but come home to Manitoba twice a year. I will have to stop by a Canadian tire this summer & take a look if I do not find anything here. If I do, I will post it. Thanks again.
Let me know when you hit Carman this year. Maybe I can come for a ride and we can have ice cream at Syl's Drive In. I've never been there but hear it's real good.
Hey, know any Vanderveens? I work with one of them.

Sounds good. Will be there sometime before Sept. long weekend before kids back in school. I know Andy & a couple of the other Vanderveens. Went to school with a couple of the in the 80's. I used to mow the lawn at Syl's back when is was 15-16 years old. How time flies!
