CAN YOU RE-CHROME PLASTIC
Hi guys,
I just bought a 77 header panel for my cutlass and it's grills and headlight bezels probably aren't in the best of shape. Does anyone know if I can rechrome those things???

Paul's Chrome Plating does that I think. I saw an episode of "My Classic Car" TV show and they were showing how they have perfected a technique to put real chrome on plastic in the same way as steel. They say they are the only ones with the process becuse they invented it.
The link is to a place that has a link to them. Their site has music on it and it always freezes up my PC.  Allan http://www.musclecarrestorations.com...ls_chrome.html |

Pauls Chrome can do it, but you will need a second mortgage to pay for it! I sent them the two plastic armrests from my 62 Starfire. They wanted over $800 to rechrome both. I found CV Vacuum Platers online, they did a beautiful job replating and repainting both armrests for a little over $200. www.cvvacuumplaters.com

Check out Hemmings, I don't remember who but I had the plastic H/O emblems re-chromed and they look great.

Yeah that Paul's Chrome Plating is expensive, must be because but they put on actual chrome instead of vacuum plating. I need some interior pieces done too, will have to check out those vac plating dudes.
