FOR SALE Chrome frames restoration for headlight lenses

[simeon40]

Hello everyone. I would like to offer a service for 500E chromed lenses - restoring the faded/damaged chrome on the plastic lenses. This includes:
*Removing the glass lens from the frame
*Replacing the faded/damaged frames with restored ones (I'll try to have one pair chromed ones available all time or I can restore yours but it can take around 20 days)
*Cleaning everything inside the glass
*Gluing them back with factory like glue.
*It can be done in a day but the glue needs 24 to 48 hours to harden depending on the outside temperature.

Price - Chroming both lenses is 180 euros/190 USD. Removing the glass and installing it back is 60 euros/64 USD
***Optional*** Sanding and polishing the glass to remove small stone chips - 200 euros/213 USD. Very deep stone chips will still be left and visible (I prefer not to sand it this deep).
***Optional*** Skyfol Nano PPF pre-cut wrap with thickness of 270 microns to protect them from small stone chips to occur again in the next 7 to 10 years - 60 euros/64 USD for the pair.

Payment can be done with PayPal if you cover their fees or bank transfer.

Receiving and shipping worldwide. I'm located in Bulgaria. Packages inside Europe are posted with DPD, outside Europe with DHL Germany and insurance at your desire price.

Original price is in Euros and can vary a little in USD depending on today's conversion rate.

I recently sent my lens to Simeon for re-chroming the frame and it turned out perfectly. Super happy with it and would recommend his work to others!

Update: Restoring the frames with the work included (removing the glass and installing it back) is 180 euros. If I have a pair available right at this moment it can take between 24 and 48 hours depending how much time there is for the glue to cure properly.
Sanding and polishing the glass lenses is the same as I stated in my first post - 200 euros.
I'm updating this post with pictures of the first client who trusted me with his 500E lenses which he send for frames chrome restoration and glass sanding and polishing.

These are the pictures before and after. Multiple small stone chips on the glass. Everything has been removed after the procedure. On the After pictures there is small dust particles on the lenses which were cleaned before regluing them back to the frames.

Quick shout out to @simeon40 for the high quality of his work and his dependability!

I sent him a pretty rotten E500 lens I bought a million years ago and forgot I had until I rummaged through my parts stash earlier this year. Frame was broken, chromed surface was destroyed and the glass had quite a bit of sandblasting. He refurbished the lens and the results are awesome! It’s the second lens he refurbished for me and they both turned out great.

Thank you Simeon, appreciate the great work you do!

Are you able to chrome the buckets for the primary headlight also?

 

[simeon40]

Yes, I can do that. These in the pictures are freshly restored with the factory method of vacuum deposition.

Fair play to Simeon
I have tried this twice on fog light lenses and I cracked the lens both times !
Its not easy, for a rare and expensive lens like a 500E lamp I would not risk it
and would much rather use this service
