shiny chrome-plated car stuff

The super-shiny colourless stuff that most of us know

as chrome-plate has been used on cars for decades.

Not only does it look good, but it protects steel bumpers

and other bits from corrosion. Cars of the 1950s are probably

the best known for their use of chrome, with shine dripping from

everywhere from grills to radio knobs. But contrary to popular opinion,

the use of chrome isn’t restricted to steel bumpers and headlight rims.

Chrometech opens up a whole new universe for car modifiers by applying

chrome to just about anything that can be unbolted or unclipped from your car.

We can repair small chrome items on older cars, but more and more of our

work involves components such as bonnet vents, door handles and plastic

interior components.

 

In fact, anything from bars of chocolate (!) to champagne corks

to kiddies shoes can all be chromed.
