Plastic Chrome ??? HELP

[ScottD961]

I hope someone o here can help me wit this. I have seen in the past that there are places that will re-chrome your old dash knobs, radio knobs, door lock knobs, etc. A lot of hose items are being replicated to day that is true enough but there are still a lot of makes that are not being reproduced.I have searched in vain and am wondering if anyone on here has ever had it done and/or can tell me a good place to call, or maybe a website? BTW, I don't need this for any of my vehicles. 1:1 scale cars, I restore old R/C cars as a hobby and then go out and have fun with them. I have two radio controlled trucks right now that need a few parts re-chromed and I know that these pieces are not being reproduced. Thank you all in advance

Thank you ! They are near here too. I knew they did chrome but I didn't know they did plastic. Thank you again

First, most "chrome plated" plastic isn't chrome, it's vacuum-deposited aluminum. There are a few places that will put real chrome plate on plastic, but it is more expensive. Understand the difference when comparing costs.

I have used Vacuumorna-metal in Romulus, Michigan for instrument panel parts.

They've been vacuum metallizing parts since the mid-50s.

Excellent work, but not cheap.
