There is a process that uses a vacuum to deposit a material that looks shiny (like chrome) and is used on older plastic dashboards. I would think most you of you know that I was NOT referring to the PLATING that is used on BUMPERS. If I do find a way to use electroplate chromium on PLASTIC, I will patent it/ become a multi-millionare and retire before I die. :lol:

You're probably going to have to ship. I wouldn't know where to go locally. Heres a couple guys I found by googling 'chrome plastic'

Thanks for information, but I did contact CVVacuumplaters and was told that their minimum charge was $100.00. Soooooooooooo I put that idea to rest and I'am going to use urethane bumper spray paint (in a can made by SEM) in Gloss Silver Metallic. Did a couple of plastic cups and it looks just like polished aluminum.
