Plastic Chrome Plating

Who does plastic chrome plating?
I have a set of rear arm rest bases that are not reproduced ( as far as I can tell ) that need replating
Car is a 66 Vista Cruiser

Thanks
Scott

email: tjacobs@vacuumorna-metal.com

Reasonable, knowledgeable about plating automotive parts, and quick turn-around.

There's a process/product called Cosmi-chrome that produces amazing results. @Tugla knows a guy in Ohio, and it was only about $25/sq ft, if I recall.

It works well on full coverage (you can paint over it), but I don't think it can be used for detail, like gauge bezels.

You could inquire at a window tint/vinyl wrap shop to see if they could wrap the arm rest trim. I've considered having the bumpers on my 71 98 wrapped by the same shop that installed tint on my 96 98.
