Restoring faded/worn 172 bullets?

[vextas]

The bullets on both the drivers side and passenger side doors of my car could do with restoring. Can anyone recommend a good way to get them looking new(ish..) again?

Cheers.

Ill be honest, there a sod......are they blistering?. They have this half ass type of metalic coating, which over time bubbles and peals off. If there not pealing or depending on how bad the pealing is , very very lightly use some 1500- 2000 grit or a fairly abrasive polish such as G3, they should come up. Failng that send them to me for a repaint lol.

They are blistering a little. The paint has also come away in some areas to reveal the bare plastic underneath. I'm tempted to remove all other badges and have them resprayed a new colour, together with the wing mirrors. Flame red and what...? Is the question though. Once i've decided on a colour, I will send you a PM. Your work looks great btw.

Cheers
