Hey, my shocks are chrome plated...

... at least the top round part that holds the rubber bushing. I'm detailing my engine compartment and was going to repaint the ends of my "Gas-Matics". But what should the wire wheel reveal?: Chrome (or at least 'nickel') plating. I assume the mount piece was welded on before the shaft was put through the chroming process. It actually polished up quite nicely.

I'll do that. I'm expecting the weld around the base to show some rust. I'm going to dab a little RustMort on there. But that spot is mostly obstructed from view anyway. The mounting shaft (through the bushing) will also be vulnerable so I'm going to spray a clear coat. Otherwise I'll run with it and let you know.
