Hi Dave,
Bert's used to offer this headlight re-silvering service & they always did an excellent job; then they stopped ............ maybe because the person they subbed it out to quit doing it; however, they may have found somebody recently to do it ........... or, maybe they can recommend someone.

NEWLY TOOLED ALUMINUM 1 BULB HEADLIGHT REFLECTORS
For Year(s): 28-31
Made from the original Ford prints. We have corrected the location of the center socket by moving it 1/16" off center, to allow you to correctly focus your headlights per the Ford service Bulletins. The word Top is stamped on the back of the gasket grove so you install the reflector correctly. The new reflector is aluminum plated, polished and sealed from the air. The aluminum finish has the same 92% reflection as the original silver plating, but silver will tarnish in a few months and your reflection will be reduced. The reflectivity of the cheap chrome reflectors is 65%, silver is 92% reflective, but reflectivity will diminish with in hours as tarnish and oxidation builds up on the surface. The sealed Aluminium process is 92% reflective and since it has been sealed it will maintain that 92% for many year to come. Minimum industry standard for headlight reflectors is 80%. Clean using a soft rag with soap and water. This is the one bulb style
