Neil -

If you are talking about sidewalls of the instrument can, not the chrome
ring, I used Rustoleum Bright Finish Chrome shaker can paint to restore
Sophy's gages.  I simple took some 0000 steel wool and some laquer thinner
to polish up the chrome.  I am very happy with the results.

I can snap a picture or two tomorrow if you like.
