Re: [Chrysler300] what was and what wasn't flash-chromed?

[Dave Geise <daverg1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi to all,
     I had two of my '57 caps touched up by the same polisher as John 
Cote and he mentioned having to remove the flash chrome chemically 
before polishing.  Of course all of the paint came off in the process.  
Didn't run into this when doing the trim pieces.
