I can paint it any colour under the rainbow but it's still going to be pitted. I'll just take it from the replies that it can't be fixed. I'll look for a replacement.

I hear you.....maybe dechrome ( or other plating ) using the muratic acid thing then sand any imperfections and replate?? See this thread. Ive never personally done this, but I posted a method I had found...post 8.
I am facing a similar quandry on an old Kerker can..see that thread for the pics. Its rough!!!

I would complain to the plaster. It looks just like chrome but then newly plated stuff would.Originally posted by nastyjones View Post
