ScottD961 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_padavano Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 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.

95Cardinal Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 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.http://www.vacuumorna-metal.com/content/restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
