StarFan Posted December 5, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 5, 2013 Would anybody know of a company in the USA or in the UK that offers chroming of ABS ? The companies I have found in the UK only do this for a bulk load but not for individuals. Anybody ? The "Red Baron" wants to have his neck covers chromed.

StarFan Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted December 5, 2013 When you find out let me know too Jonas! One never has enough chrome... Will do Bob. Am not very optimistic finding one who does this for individuals - only found bigger companys that clearly state that this is for industrial bulk loads only. Well - could have this done in China but am kind of not to excited about shipping my covers over there. Might work out though - one never knows. I´ll keep you posted what route I take - if any !

Bubber Posted December 5, 2013 Share #5 Posted December 5, 2013 chrome on plastic is a specialty. Not many companies will do this type of plating for individuals and if they do it would be very expensive. They would charge you a lot charge on top of the price. Good luck with your search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van avery Posted December 5, 2013 Share #7 Posted December 5, 2013 Jay Leno did a piece on spray on chrome a couple years back. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-1cTpSZ1l8]Jay Leno's Garage: Spray-On Chrome - YouTube[/ame] Reading the comments the company went broke but there is another company in the UK doing it. I understand its expensive. http://customcreationpaints.co.uk/ Here is a Utube of DYI process.

Huggy Posted December 5, 2013 Share #8 Posted December 5, 2013 I may thinking of trying to set up a small process to do plastic chroming in the new year. If I do and I am satisfied with the results when I run some tests I will let you know. The initial cost right now is the only hold back. If there is enough interest I will go ahead with it.
