Chroming Plastic

In case anyone is looking to chrome their plastic parts, there is a place in WA state that does it. I haven't used them so I can't comment on their work. A member of our club is using them for his 1968 Cutlass door panels. I pass this on for information only.

Oddly enough, I sent my plastic arm rest backing plates to a place in British Columbia to be re-done. They did a good job but it's good to know there is someone much closer! Thanks for the heads-up.

If you remember the place please send us Canadian guys their contact details. No worries about exchange and border issues if any. Thanks.

Wes, thanks for pointing that out. I just saw the US addresses. The Canadian address is smaller.

Yes very good quality and great customer service. It will take some time as he is very busy. Let me know if anyone needs any help with their parts. I am out by his place regularily.

I believe I'm the one you are talking about. I had my dash bezel, vents, glove box etc. rechromed by CV. Nice work. I can't remember how long it was to get them back, but it was at least a couple of months. If you want quality, send your parts to them!
