When I threw the AE I had together, I had the choice of a freshly rechromed cowl or its original, in brass. Not being a fan of polishing brass and the car being as rough as a dogs arse, I opted to paint the original black. I left the chromed one in the wardrobe where it remains.
However once I put the headlights on it, I hated it. Looked awful to me. So I stripped the paint and went brass. I did however make the brass weathered using vinegar. Thats how I left it. Looked much better. The scuttle vents and the screen were brass too. unpolished.
