The chrome plating on the trims on the Rutgersen portlights in the saloon has started to breakdown, leaving them looking so tatty that even I am having to take notice of them. I've searched the net and can find part numbers for them but cannot identify a supplier - all the Rutgersen site does is to refer me elsewhere. Anyone any idea of where I might be able get hold of some replacements?
I'm not sure if you want a do it yourself project. I refinished all of my Rutgerson trim rings on Valkyrie. It was a spring time project before launch. They were all pitted. They are only plastic inner trim rings so be careful if you do. I sanded them as smooth as I could. It wasn't that hard just a little time consuming. Then I primed the plastic, let it dry and put on a couple coats of metalic silver spray paint. I think the brand was outdoor Rustolium. I was hesitant when I started the project but a few years later they still look great. Rutgerson is impossible to deal with or even contact. I originally wanted to do what you suggest and buy new trim rings. PLEASE let me know if you find anyone that actually sells parts for these things. I wanted to pick up a few extra acrylic window replacements. They are great ports but I know eventually I'll need to replace a window glass and would like to have one vs having to cut one.
good luck. contact me if you have any questions. I might even have pictures laying around. I used to take pics of each stage of my projects. old habit.
