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.

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.
