Chrome spray paint

[JamesEB]

Even if you find one prepared to do a small one off, the price will be prohibitive. What make and model and year is the car?

Thanks. The price isn't an issue.

It's a 1993 Toyota Camry automatic estate 2.2

It has been professionally examined looks and runs like a new car

Thanks for help

If it's Mazak then do not shot blast it!!
You need to reverse plate it to remove the chrome, then fix any damage and rechrome

You may find that the cost is more than the cost of a NOS from the USA or going to a scrapyard

You could get some generic chrome number badges on eBay for not a lot and replace with those.

I'd put money on the badges being plastic. The only way to "plate" plastic is by vapour deposition.

What is NOS please?

I have a nationwide Breakers Yard search

Just replace with generic ones, no one will know. If you insist on the painting route, then

This is possibly acceptable (don't expect a mirror like chrome finish)

To get the best results, you have to put a matt black background down first.

NOS = new old stock/spares

I.e. Something found at the back of a dealer's cupboard.

I really wouldn’t go down the repair route, but maybe a Toyota owners club or forum would show up some badges eventually.
