Chroming plastic aint the same as metal........chroming metal required electroplating and as plastic doesnt conduct electricity it has to be done using another method.......i found a place in ireland that does it called chrome-it but fcuk sendin my bits all that way just to pay more in p&p than for the actual process..........if anyone knows of somewhere who can do it......preferably in the south east area let me know!! | |

Like Ainsley says, It is possible to chrome plastic, otherwise I wouldn't have the heater knobs and doorpins for grabs. However, I've not found anyone in the UK able to do it, mine comes from Europe. | |
