Plastic chroming....

KEVORKIAN · January 3rd, 2008, 20:20

Anyone know of a company/business that does plastic chroming in Canada?

I have a project in the works & I need this done!

Wouldn't a can of paint chrome be simpler and cheaper?

If you're willing to paint the gun instead you may want to look into these paints by ALCLAD

are you chrome plating one of your 5.1s?

It would be difficult. What are you trying to do exactly?

I'm not holding any secrets, but it is for a Hicapa project...

Some people LOOOOOOVE - GOLD....

I LOOOOOOOVE - CHROME....

I know it might be pricey but in the end I should be happy!

Have you heard of any trials/experiences with this technique at all Greylocks?

On plastic? That would look good and last? No.

On metal, yep, but I'd go for some really fancy parkerizing (my choice) or anodyzing (if you want funky colors).

Plastic will just look like plastic unless you are an expert (and expensive). You dont want the results to look like something from a dollar store, do you?

Go with a metal base, gives you far more choices for the results.
