As you can see by my exterior B pillar garnish cover thingy, she's a bit old.

Seems the cover is quite expensive (to replace). Does anyone have any tips to bring it back to life?

 

I was thinking just masking off and painting it black again with a nice clear, to make it glossy.

 

(and yes, ordered a new window seal as well)

 

Keen to hear your suggestions!

Google metalisation, its a process of chrome look on plastic. Example, reflectors in headlights. Cheap plastic toys, that look shiny.

Or there is chrome look vinyl, for signwriters. It's 50% there!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.
