is there a process for getting a chrome finish (that looks like chrome too) onto plastics? | ||

Yes. Check out this company. I think what they do is some type of mylar vacuform process. http://alsacorp.com/products/formablechrome/formablechrome_prodinfo.htm (Message edited by pcmodeler on March 18, 2005) | ||

Yes indeed. There was a vendor at the Long Beach IMS who plates plastics and had several sport bike body pieces chromed on display. He offered to chrome the inside of my badly degraded XB9R headlight reflector (which seems to be painted silver) for a reasonable price too. | ||

That reminds me, I forgot about this company as well. They do actual plating of plastic: http://www.chrometechusa.com/ |
