Anybody had any plastic rechromed?
Permalink Closed

There was a real good place in Vancouver that used to do this but they have closed that section down.  Was wondering if someone knew of someplace in Canada that did a good job at this.

Would that be chromeozone?  Do you know what process they use?  I've been told of a couple different processes and am wondering what has been successful.

I had my dash done by a guy in Mission last year,  CV Vacumn Platers
604-820-9571. He was going to be cutting back on doing certain things.
Tell him his very first customer told u about him.
Also I believe thier is someone in Vernon by the name of Detier or someting
250-549-1065
Plastic chrome is not cheap on certain things. My dash cost $400 but that was finished, ready to install (painted in the rite spots)

I found their website and they have shut down their plastic division.  Will try this guy by Vernon though.  Thanks Brian

The only process I'm aware of is vacuum plating.  The guy in Florida has been doing it for probably 25 years.  Most everyone in National Nostalgic Nova uses him as he is a Nova owner and member of the club.
He sells the bezel for a 63-65 Nova for about $98 plus shipping.  He also discounts for returned cores or doing your piece.
I will see him first weekend in March at our Mini-Nats for the Nova Club in Florida.
