Probably a dumb question but I'm not familiar with paint and finish history...
Anyway, it looks like they either have a clear coat or something on them because it's pealing off! The finish is dull but when I scrape at it it is very shiny underneath!
So...
What's the best process for cleaning these caps back to a shine without damaging the finish?
The bow tie decal has the same coating as well.
Thank you in advance!
No; they were chrome plated and then the base is painted argent silver (single stage).
