Plastic/Fiberglass Chrome - Lateral-g Forums

I have had a few inquieries on the chrome we are doing. Its up and running now. Here is a couple pics on a 69 camaro Ft bumper we just chromed, its a fiberglass front clip for a Top Sportsman Camaro. Possibilities are endless. I can also tint the chrome so it can do a candy color or anything. This is plating, not paint.

Wow. What the heck exactly is it? How do you do it?

Its Catalized Plating. You spray a mettalisized (sp?) coating down on what you want to Chrome, then several chemicals are sprayed over the top of the coating and rinsed off to end up with a chrome finish., then it is sealed. Its quite messy. We are still learning every day on it but its coming out pretty well. There is a company that has paint thats supposed to look like chrome but its not quite as shiney as this plating, havent used that just seen it advertised. Going to do some orange chrome plow lights tomorrow for a truck and will post the color of that after they are done.

Looks really good in the pics, Micky. Have you done any of the black chrome yet?

I havent really done tints yet, this orange will be the first attempt. Let you know how it comes out.
