chromed mirror finish of the prancing horse

Do you recognise this 'prancing horse' symbol?

This as you may know is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Maranello, Italy. Founded in 1928, manufacturing only race cars before moving into production of street legal vehicles in 1947.

"The horse was originally the symbol of Count Francesco Baracca, legendary of the Italian air force during WWI, who painted it on the side of his planes. The Scuderia Ferrari logo Coat of Arms of the City of Stuttgart, Scuderia Ferrari left the horse black as it had been on Baracca's plane; however, he added a yellow background because it was the symbolic color of his birthplace, Modena. "

The material of the horse was made of fiberglass and plastic. To have it chrome-plated to that smooth finish was a labour intensive process.

Any material can be bronzed or chrome-plated. We don't electroplate on metal.

As you can see from this large chrome plated statue of the horse plated by The Bronzing Studio, the quality of work that has been achieved, which is expected from our clientele and the high standards of the branding it already portrays.
