My eyeglass frames are pretty old yet I still like them
as they are made of titanium and take abuse well. An
still stylish
The only problem is the hard plastic coating at the ear
pieces is breaking and flaking off.
Instead of new frames.... where can I take my current
frames and have them refurbished by coating the
earpieces with new plastic? Is that even possible?

Yeah, mine too, tho I doubt the metal is titanium, dont recall that it was.
And mine are by far the most comfortable I have ever
had too, and I have two pairs of the same frame too.

It must be possible because they were clearly made that way initially.
You should be able to superglue the pieces, tho thats not as good as new plastic.
Havent noticed anyone offering to do new plastic.
You might try posting in the modelling groups, maybe
some of the modeling has something similar somewhere.
