Letter 26011
Need plastic parts of Harley V-rod
chromed [Nebraska]
+++
I am looking for solutions to chroming some plastic pieces on my
2002 Harley V-rod. Headlight and taillight sections are made of
plastic and I want to create a chrome finish. These are about the
only pieces on the bike that are not chromed. Is it possible to
chrome plastic?? If so, who does it??
Thank you,

Yes, it is certainly possible to chrome plate plastic, Mike.
Virtually all of the shiny grills and headlight and taillight fascias
of the world's automobiles are chrome plated plastic. It is also
possible to apply "chrome like paint", which can look acceptable due
to the recent great advances in this field, although it's still
neither as shiny nor as durable as real chrome plating.
