Who does plastic chroming

[Ganjasaur]

I need to find out who does plastic chroming. I have heard of 2 places one in Waihi (does not do small jobs anymore aparently) and another in Otara Auckland. Anyone know what the place in aucks is called or there number?

Alsa corp does a heap of that sorta stuff, well selling the really good chrome lookalike for plastic & other things.

Look up www.chromepaint.com & u can order all you need from there if you want to do it yourself, might be an option if ur keen

dont bother with chrome paint!

you can get plastic parts chrome plated,
I got my plastic air vents, tail light surrounds, headlight/guard surrounds done by these guys:

Rigg Electroplating Ltd 09 444- 4871

I think they plate them with copper first & then chrome plate the copper.

its expensive though..

Thats right! chrome wont stick to plastic as its no way metal so after alot of time and money you can have chrome plated plastic!

Im pretty sure air newzealand can do that sorta stuff aswell, and they can ussually be quite reasonable!

Chrome paint sucks, don't use it...

I dont really want to use paint. I know there are ways to chrome plastic like thermo formable films and there is some other hard out way. But i just want to take them somewhere and get them done.

Thanks heaps for the replys guys. Keep them comming

what are you gonna get chromed??
just check the yellow pages for any electroplating places in your area

like I said though its not cheap man,
my tail lights alone cost me $500 & that was mates rates...

I am getting my grill with the sprayers chromed and my rear window fents done. I have now found a few places

thanks everyone

hey, friend of mine is looking at getting some things chromed on his 75 skyline. can you let me know what places you got in contact with, and what sort of prices they could do things for?

thanks

[Ganjasaur]

here are the 2 places i am currently looking at

094452982
021437669
grahame
Genfield Auckland

Universal Electroplaters
8 Lovegrove Cre Otara Auckland
0-9-274 7496


I have seen a job done by universal on a friends rx2 and liked what I saw. Grahame I think will be more expensive as his method costs more to do but will also give a better result.

As for price, Go see them and get a quote as depends on size etc....
