PLASTIC RE-CHROMING

[colr6]

Anybody had any plastic chromed or rechromed ? Found plenty of companies on the net but all steer towards loads and not single items. It's the plastic eyeballs from the heater vents I want doing. Any suggestion or recommendations ?

What about Hydro Dipping. I would have thought they might have a chrome effect film.

I had some scabby plastic trim hydro dipped, for £25.

look on flea bay for mk1 escort switches, you will find a man in poland, user name is something like makormosa, bad spelling lol, he re furbishes the chorome on the switches as part of it, he has a u tube video of the chroming method as well, had my switches done by him and really good

Good to see a few options out there where once there was nothing. I had to switch my GL type trims to Ghia ones because the chrome plastic coating pealed off the GL ones where the Ghia ones are a metal strip so you can polish them.

I'm with Ray on this. I bought the switches off the Polish guy too and if he uses the same methodology as demonstrated on youtube I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

There is a guy in the UK who supplies those switches restored too. Might be worth a chat with him. Details in this thread

Try these people Col, came across them on one of our Social Media platforms and it looks like they can do what you need.
