Inexpensive chrome around rear corner

wipe area down with thinner and rub carefully with extra fine steel wool 00000.

This is 1/2 x 20 feet chrome self adhesive molding from Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-W-Moldi...53.m2749.l2649

Cut a section about 7 " and shape with your hands to a crescent shape . A hair dryer helps and also heat the corner of the panel. Peel the top clear protective coating off and finally peel off the red 3-M tape , Adhere to the corner section and heat a little more while pressing on the chrome molding.

This is the finished product . Might not be for the perfectionist but looks great from 3 feet away. And only took about 20 minutes and cost about $15 and have about 18 feet of the molding left. Now to paint the area around the tail lights BRG . and delete the rear wipers....Lost John
