is your car ready to take all that shine?

Is your car ready to take all that shine?

We make it happen. I bet you never knew that chrome-plating on plastic and fibreglass can be done? Impossible you thought!

"We thought that we better let the car enthusiasts know that it is possible to electroplate that plastic and ad that shine on the much loved car"

Last year we electroplated hundreds of dashes, grills, bumper bars, mirrors, arm rests, tail-lights and all other plastic and fibreglass parts.

We have done several Mustang dashes that needed to be cut and modified as part of the RHD conversion. After many hours of preparation

for re-plating, the dash is suspended in a chemical solution that contains the copper/nickel/chrome solution. The item is gently agitated

in the slightly (40 degree Celsius) warm solution while a low-voltage current is passed through the solution from an anode on to the piece to be electro-plated.

testimonial for a lovely job

“During the 2nd world war one of brothers married an American girl. They had a son, unfortunately my brother did not survive the conflict.

After the war, my sister-in-law sent the child’s first shoes to my mother. The shoes were well worn, with all the scuff marks, complete with tied laces.  The shoes were mounted on marble bases. They were of course bronzed.

I recall they took a special place, with a photograph of my brother in his Fleet Air Arm uniform and a model of the Spitfire he flew. My surviving brother still retains this setting, some 50 odd years on in New Zealand.

I am so glad  I found your company in Australia because having grandchildren of my own, I am so proud to have one bronzed shoe of each of them.

Thank you very much for the lovely job.”

Yours faithfully,

F.D. J. of QLD

absolutely stunning chromed honeycomb grill


Absolutely stunning. Be better than the rest. Have your plastic car parts electroplated. Yes you heard right.. Electroplated, not vacuum-metallised. Electrifying right? Enjoy being better than the Jones. Our expert team at Chrometech can help you achieve that shine. I am sure that you would like to know our electroplating plastic chroming process. We are the only company that can electroplate on plastic. We need to seal the item, e.g. if plating on wood, plaster or cloth, the item must be made inert so as not to react with the acidic electroplating solution... Then the item needs to be made conductive, like conductive ink. (Produced in-house)
Next we electroplate via electrolysis. The initial copper coating will be followed up with Nickel, Chrome or Gold.
If you want to know more how to chrome-plate on plastic, feel free to contact us, or we would be more than happy to show you around our factory.

People are basically sentimental.  Bring back pleasant memories and take advantage of our Bronzing services.

Bronzing gives things a different perspective. You name it we bronze it, is our Logo .Whatever you want to have transformed

to an everlasting item that will decorate your mantel shelf and be the centre of attention can be coated in a metal of your choice.(copper, nickel or 24 k gold.)

We bronze anything from a tomato to a pair of Jeans or shirt. You bring us your sentimental item, we bronze it and you display it.

What better way to be admired and praised for your creativity.

gold-plated balls

What's next?

Gold-plated Balls?

The elusive hole-in-one is certainly a unique memory for the golfer lucky enough to achieve the ace. Appropriately we at The Bronzing Studio have come up with an innovation. Gold-plating balls.... Golf balls that is.

The golfer who wants to preserve his hole-in-one as a keepsake can have the balls treated with a bronzing technique. The balls are unharmed and during the bronzing process that takes several hours, it is gradually coated in a generous layer of pure precious metal of your choice, either copper, nickel or 24 k gold an set on a bronzed tee.

Items brought into the Bronzing Studio are often one of a kind and have a special meaning to the intended recipient so we always take the utmost care.

Or perhaps you are simply after something truly unique. Either way, it is not just for bronzing small items. We electroplate items as large as a pair of Jeans that we created for a retiring professor at the Childrens hospital. ( Jeans for Genes day) Once a year we create the awards for the NRL players and several other sporting awards.

In my next blog I will upload a photo from Steve Menzies trophy.

Out turnaround time is normally 4-6 weeks.
