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.
