thanks for the information, it is deeply appreciated.
By what process are OEM grilles and trim currently "chromed" then ? I am sure that is not any type of plating, I thought it was vacuum metallized. I mean look at any modern car and there is more plastic "chrome" than you can shake a stick at. What process are they using then ? And I understand that an OEM process like that might not be available at the piece level.
Oh never mind on a re-read you answered me directly - I just have a hard time believing all those plastic parts ARE actually plated in some manner.
I've seen some photos of chrome paint that looked pretty good, but I've seen a lot that didn't. I'll have to ask my body/paint guy if he's interested in trying it.
(I'm especially frustrated because I contacted the guy selling the grilles on ebay to see if he had any NOS chrome ones and he replied he did. I thought about it for a couple weeks and contacted him again to purchase and no response, even though he's still selling the normal ones ! I want to give you my money man ! If you don't have one after all just tell me)
