Wasn't that chrome frame factory painted? You can tell it was aftermarket Chromed, and a poorly prepared previous to doing the process. The biggest thing in performing a good chrome job is making sure the surfaces are properly prepared. To me it doesn't look like a good job, especially after comparing it to several previous Chromed Paramounts on ebay that went for over $1k.

I dunno even for $350 it doesn't seem like a bargain.

I apologise for the posting, I put it up before I looked in detail and discovered that it had been rechromed, over the paint!!!
