I had a common problem with chrome trim that peeled off. I've solved this problem by putting on chrome wrap with a heat gun. This looks completly satisfying for me.

Nice Job! This could be the easiest and best solution yet.

Would like more details on the process.

Thnaks Tom. I just bought a sheet of chrome wrap folie in the store. Than, I peeled of the bad chrome trim pieces with a shap doctors knive. This takes some patientence. Than, you put on the chrome wrap and you stick it on with a heater gun. It's just that simple!

With my Caprice, the previous owner must have parked it the same way, so the sun only effected one side of the trim. I peeled the plastic stuff off with a utility knife......not too bad of a job. Then masked and painted with chrome SEM paint. It's lasted for 10 years and still looks decent. As the way you did it, I did not have to remove any trim, which I did not want to do.
