Can hubcaps for a 1955 Chevrolet be regalvanized to look new

Can hubcaps for a 1955 Chevrolet be regalvanized to look new. william smith

Hi, William. They can be nickel-chrome plated to look new. So the answer is yes, but the terminology is slightly off: galvanizing is a hot-dip coating of zinc, and is not appropriate for hubcaps. Good luck.
