Well I have never seen those fading but theres no way you can paint them , and 175 is just too expensive , try junkyards.Originally Posted by ebe5173

Seeing where you are located, I would think the fading is actually the plastic coating over the chrome that had now started to be affected by your Florida sunshine and going opaque. Or damp or seawater/spray has got underneath this layer.I have the syndrome on many cars with similar chrome bits.
