Plastic parts CAN NOT BE CHROME PLATED. Only metal or base metal parts can be chrome plated.
Plastic parts are vacuum plated with aluminum. I have had Chrome-Tech USA do a number of parts and they do a GREAT job.....under $50 for smaller parts. This is the same process manufactures use to 'chrome' plate plastic.
Check them out.
Not true Dave, plastic can be plated. We have sent out several NOS unpainted F3 cabs for business customers and them chrome plated. We use Cybershield in Texas. They used to do aircraft instrument bezels and automobile dash board restoration work.

Reading their website they are using a form of vac plating. Traditional chrome plating still requires dipping item in a vat of very hot chromium....thus plastic will never make it through the process.....we are splitting terminology here.
Chrome-tech usa will not do metal....only plastics.
