    I have a project coming up that requires some pllastic pieces to be chrome plated. Does anyone on the forums do chrome plating on plastics or know someone else that does?

    Very hard to find. That's a specialized thing. Try looking in Hemmings Motor News under "services".

      i hope your project equals chroming your bumper trim, that would be fat.

          These guys did a job on a friend's Dart coupe (headlight bezel).

          According to him his grille looks great.

            What does a dart look like in Chile? All the darts up here had metal headlight bezels or the ones with the plastic ones was only painted. And i think that i seen the company in the link at the mopar nats. They had some good looking stuff. If that was them that i saw.

                        Robert there is a company out there that used to do remote control car parts and they could chrome plastic. They did special anodizing etc.. I don't remember there name but they advertised in some of the magazines.
