If owners do decide to have their car's Instrument Trim re chrome plated, it may to do the preparation yourself.

A reputable Plater needs to remove the original plating in order for one to then start working on the Trim. I have used various fine grades of Wet/Dry Abrasive Paper initially to then move to lightly buffing the Trim.

3D printing TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is quite possible and I've done it a number of times.
