I'd paint the thing or powder coat, chrome now days is iffy at best and who knows if the plater will even return your original grille. If you take a close look at the repops, you'll see that the detail is just not there like the factory unit. BTW Bob Adler has just done a super article in the Sept. Vintage Chevy Club's NL on restoring your 47 to 53 grille. Good luck
