That's kind of a hard call // But you say you are restoring, if you are painting other parts or if its just fine condition the way it is and all that needs is better chrome then I would say paint them as long as it don't make them stand out above the rest of the car ? Eric

Very nice!
Theres some chrome paint (Alclad) that really looks like chrome, but you need to paint it black first, airbrush on the chrome paint and seal with clear.

Re: Anyone out there restore Baja Bugs?
If you mean slicks and Dune Buggy style tires I'm not sure. Does anyone know for sure?
