I like the chrome trim with that black myself since you asked but I bet hard to do.
Now you need to do the hard side

You could do the chrome with bare metal foil - you can get it at a hobby shop. I used it on my '66 Dash and it looks awesome.

Jeff, mind if I request you post up how you did it on the restoration forum? It would be very valuable to lots of us.

Sounds like you've got a serious problem in your head. Course we all do...

First guy-didn't check installed spring height. Given another chance to fix it.
Second time. Didn't check installed valve height. Didn't meet clearance specs. Valves apparently not sealing properly. Shoddy work overall.
Second guy-redoing all the work of the first guy. All new valves, seals and guides for the second time this year.
Engine was entirely rebuilt this year.
