Volks,
I have a pretty good assortment of pretty good hubcaps for my '70. But they
all have some rusting inside (and a couple have rusted scratches); all have
mild denting (like, where somebody maybe hit them with a rubber mallet to
put them on); and all show signs of use.
If they were to be re-plated, all would need some mild undenting and some
de-rusting. Is there anyplace you're aware of that does this without it
costing a week's wages? My local custom-plating places want upwards of $100
per hubcap for plating alone, plus additional cost for rust removal and
smoothing of dents.
I feel like going to the catalog aftermarket is a sort of defeat. I'd like
to Keep It Original.
Or should I just suck it up, use a chrome polish from my FLAPS, and remember
that it's a 40-year-old car?
