My surround was due to poor preparation i'm afraid.
It really needs to be painted first to get that perfectly smooth finish and then chrome plated.
I was intending to have a grovel to Chris about getting another one at the BBQ.
There is also a metal fabricator in the yard next to my painter, he does all sorts of exotic alloy panels for handmade cars. I was going to show him the panel and see if it could be done at a reasonable cost. I was thinking if I could give them just a nose section of a bonnet and the original panel, they might be able to do a short run of them to bring the cost down.
