Thanks Achipmunk! That was just the type of answer I was afraid of! Mine are usable ,but the chrome is getting beat up looking.What I'am realy afraid of is sending them out to be rechromed and 6 months later having the chromer tell me he lost them,but he'll be happy to replace them if "I" find them........,and I will, out of Mexican or Chinese tin.Thanks , but my pile of bad repops is already to high. I'll paint them first! I know what you mean,but if you find anything let everyone know.Thanks jimmy
