exactly - rub them back with until the chrome turns back to smooth plastic, prime them, flat the primer down , spray them with a decent can of matched paint, rub them down and add more coats of paint, clearcoat a couple of times, fit them to the car.


Or have chrome or matt black wheel arches, either way these will see you through for a bit.

you'll need to level out the surface under the wheel arch trims so they sit right..
