How to Chrome a Wooden Guitar?

My name is Teo. I wish to know how to chrome plating a wooden guitar ? I'm a guitarist and have been asking high and low of how to chrome a wooden guitar and depressingly people whom I've asked do not have the answer. Please teach me if you have the solution.

Thank you,

We have an FAQ on plating of organic materials, like wood, but I don't think you'll really be happy with the results--and such a complex plating procedure using toxic materials is not a very good hobbyist idea. It certainly can be done, but usually by people with access to substantial industrial facilities and years of experience.
