Seeking general info on chrome plating and auto restoration

-----

I am looking for information on the process of chrome plating. Also, do you know of any listservs for people interested in antique auto restoration?

I suppose other things are complex too, Marlene, but chrome plating is not something you are going to learn in a day or a week -- but we do have an intro to chrome plating on line here that may be as deep as you want to go for now. Assuming your interest is in getting chrome plating onto things, the thing to probably do is to look up plating in the yellow pages, the automobile restoration magazines, or the on-line directory of finishing shops here, and have the items plated by a job shop.

But if your interest in chrome plating is abiding, you can review relevant texts on-line here in our must have booklist. Good luck!
