I wanted a white TA to add to my line up, I was watching one on ebay that did 1800

so when I wasnt looking this came up at a great price with poor chrome.

So after some messaging to Dan ( you might have heard of him lol) the next option was a dechrome

I started to clean it up with just a scotch pad and it cleaned up with little effort

Take it to a chromer - they'll do it for you. It doesn't cost much.

It's going white/red

I know that's why it's gone there, I normally spray them myself but to mask the garage out would take ages. My old garage . Just covered the walls in paint lol
