The Chrome Age
Chrome-plating is back in style and this time, it’s not just metal.
Take a look at the top cars at shows and on the street and you’ll see chromed wheels, chromed bumpers,
grilles, plastic trim and all sorts of chromed accessories from interior fittings to body parts and engine bits.
You can even buy a new Daihatsu with chrome bumpers and mirrors.
The advent of plastic chromed bumper bars, grilles and exterior mirrors gradually saw chrome work disappear from the exterior of production models but the latest electro-plating technology allows just about anything to be chrome-plated, either partially or wholly. Today customers are chrome-plating all those parts that are plastic. Even fibreglass isn’t immune to chrome!
