Looking for recommendations on a chrome plating company

[Allen Blackmon]

I have a few plastic parts that to be chrome plated. The pieces are exterior and interior trim pieces. I want to get some recommendations on custom chrome plating companies that you have used and gotten great results.
Thanks for any information you could provide.

I don't think you can chrome plate (using the element chromium, along with copper and nickel) plastic.

You might do a search on "Xtreme Chrome", they have  a process that comes close to the chrome look for plastic.

I thought I saw a video on You tube a while back on that process. I don't think it was as good as the original chrome.

I believe the original chrome process was done in a vacuum chamber.

Paul's Chroming in PA did my fiberglass front bumper, it wasn't cheap but the work is excellent.

What company will do small single or individual pieces, such as a 5' antenna mast? How do they charge for small stuff. Anyone with some example pricing?
Thanks, Mike

I've used Paul's for plastic and metal with good results.

[Allen Blackmon]

You are correct, Paul's is not cheap.

What were the costs involved Allen?
Thanks, Mike

It was $1400 to do the lower bumper on my 1961, steel woulda been about half.
