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!!

Also what about V-Grilles, they're chrome and also plastic

i.e Vectra door handles. I thought they were real metal when i first saw then :lol: but there plastic :thumbs:

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.

BTW, hello stranger...long time no stalk ;)

You can chrome plastic, but I couldnt find anyone to do one offs in the UK, plenty of people across in Europe but not here.

It definately IS possibly to properly crome plastic.... but as for who can do it i have no idea!

I hope you are not talking about that shite quality chrome effect spray paint! :lol:
