Default PLASTIC CHROMING

I have a set of headlight surrounds off my Mazda RX3 that i wish to get chromed along with many other parts.

Are these able to be chromed using the various methods as published on the caswellplating webiste, example, triple chrome or hard chrome.

Is there specific methods to take?

Thanks

T

You'll need to spray the part with conductive paint, then copper plate, nickel plate, then chrome plate. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as it sounds.

You can also use our SilvaChrome system, which lets you spray a chrome look onto your parts, no matter what they're made of.
