Volks,

The 15 cm Hella spotlight on my Copbug is showing its age:  the silvering is corroded away from the outer rim of the reflector and there’s some rusting of the underlying steel.  (The Hella fog lights have the same problem, though I’ve bought them some time using 3M stick-on foil.) 

Some of the other antique-car forums have reported good results from an Oregon company called Uvira, so I’ve written them (no reply yet).  But I’d like to know of any re-silvering shops that y’all might have used that did good work for a reasonable price.  Any recommendations?
