Headlight Re-Silvering

  
  

Custom Work

  


For 25 years we have been offering the service of re-silvering headlight, taillight and cowl light reflectors back to factory specifications. Silver plating is the most cost effective way of re-silvering reflectors and is still used to achieve the superior reflective capabilities versus using chrome or other materials.

Most original reflectors were made of brass (to determine if your reflectors are brass use a magnet-it won't stick to brass). To re-silver brass reflectors we chemically clean, polish, silver plate and then finish polish them. Steel reflectors are often rusted and require bead blasting. Steel reflectors cost more to re-silver because they are nickel plated before being silvered to achieve proper adherence and shine. Some light pitting can be silvered over, but the pits will often still be visible.

Reflectors that have dents, old gasket material and heavy coatings will take extra labor to prepare for re-silvering. We also offer disassembly and reassembly. The shop rate for these services is $70.00/hr.

Turn around time is approximately 4-6 weeks from the time we receive the reflectors. Rush orders can be processed within 3 weeks but we cannot guarantee that service. There is a 25% additional charge for this service.

Please remove lens sockets and bulbs before sending in your reflectors. Include your name, address, telephone number, and any specific instructions regarding your order (I.e. shipping, payment, contact person, additional product or services needed to process your order). Once we receive your reflectors we will process an invoice and mail or fax you a copy. Your invoice will include the cost of resilvering, shipping, handling, insurance and labor, if applicable. When you receive your invoice please send in a check, money order or contact us to process a credit card payment.

We also have a wide selection of headlight lenses, bulbs and gaskets in stock. We can also do 12-volt halogen conversion kits. Please ask for availability and pricing.

To determine the cost for resilvering measure the diameter, across outer edge to outer edge. Find your measurement on the chart below. Prices are listed for EACH reflector to be re-silvered.
