[BaadAssGremlins] Plastic Chrome Plating Process

[AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx]

I just saw how it was done on My Classic Car or one of those shows. The
part is stripped  and  cleaned and clear coated with paint. It is then
put in a vacuum chamber and tumbled on a rack. Small bars of alumium are
electrically atomised and form a fog in the chamber and settle on the
tumbling plastic part. The part is then clear coated again. To watch
this it was an amazing process. I too would be concerned about trying to
do this to a 30+ year old grill and also about the possible damage or
loss due to shipping as the plastic is now brittle with age.
