The whole body is plated and then the matte area is painted on the inside.
    Lu,
   I missed the last NOS one on ebay last week. I am sure I have a nice set with no pits. Not NOS but close. Actually I have everything from junk to NOS. 
   Email me your preference and what you would like to pay.

  Is there such an animal? Aside from the rare NOS item, I am looking 
for some taillight housings with no pits. I thought I had a pair, but 
the baboons that packed them in 2 pieces of newspaper and a weak 
oversized box caused them to get ruined
 in shipping. I'm talking even 
broke the chrome surround on the corners and broke off the pins on the 
back. I called these *people* on the phone and they said, well if ya 
can't use 'em, ship 'em back. So I did in exactly the same box they 
arrived in. If I don't find any pit-less taillight housings, do I need 
to go to the expense of rechroming them ($150 each) or should I just 
sand down the pits, fill them in and paint them? It appears that the 
housings are really only chromed on the outer lip and have a matte 
finish on the interior portion between the lip & the red plastic lens. 
Am I right? Doc - have you refurbished these pieces? I need some 
advice. Thanks! ~Lu~
