Can this be Re-chrome, power coating?
Cost?
I just polish the top one and it was ok.

I think it was just polished. Chrome is so expensive and both powder coating and chroming will be a little thicker. I don't know if this will effect the workings of the top or not because I've never had a rag top. I'd just polish it.

Once you polish all the clear coat will be gone and the luster from the polish will only last a few days and then it will cloud back over, I kept having that problem with mine. Although expensive I got mine chromed, they worked fine, that was years ago before they started selling them repop which are cheaper than getting them chromed but do not look as nice. I plan on having mine on the 61 chromed when I get a few odd and ends done that I want chromed as well.


Jeremy used a set of these on his last car and they where real nice
