Who re chromes plastic these days? The last place I used was Mr. G's Mustang City so that shows you how long it's been since I had any done.
Instrument Specialties did mine. Took a long time to, so ask.
I've been using GCAR for over 30 years to do mine. Great prices, exceptional quality.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I will check them out.

Just Dashes told me they are not doing plastic plating at the moment.
For small pieces this stuff works real well especially for pieces that you don't touch or handle too much. It's available on Amazon! $10 bucks

I got some and have used it . Good stuff but don't have unrealistic expectations for anything but very small touch up sections. Not a plastic part but it can make a night and day difference on the tarnished front vent window pivot of 65-68's.
Try Phillip's plating out of Wisconsin
Or
Speed and sport out in Texas
Hopefully both are still in business and haven't bitten the dust
Best of luck in your endeavors

Ive used these as well. I concur with Bob's assessment. They worked really well on the front edges of 1970 ball shaped AC vents.

Me too. I used Just dashes in New Jersey the time before and they offered slower service and a higher price. The folks at Vaccuum Orna Metal were better in every way. 1-800-827-6762
