Where is the best quality place for getting parts rechromed (vacuum plating)? I did a Google search for "rechrome plastic moparts" and found a post from 2010. Members recommended back then: 1. Tony's Auto Classics in Texas 2. American Classics Restorations 3. CV Vacuum Platers 4. CV Plastics Plating in B.C. I have a sunroof handle bezel I need restored for my 74 Charger; it has seen better days...

The biggest problem with that part is not plating it, but rather removing what's left of the old plating without ruining the plastic. I've had good luck using the electrolysis rust removal set up to remove the old plating. I set up the system and use the plated plastic piece as the anode and the plating slowly goes away.....

A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..
If you love someone set them free.. If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!
