What company does Chrome ABS Plastic

[StarFan]

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.

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 !

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

Reading the comments the company went broke but there is another company in the UK doing it. I understand its expensive.

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.
