Default Chroming Plastic

Does anybody know of a company that can perform high quality chroming on plastic?

Thanks,

Ryan

You can get some chrome paint that looks absolutely like plated metal. It's a multi stage procedure. Here's the site:

You should ask M34LNCH ... his spark plug cover is done with a chrome-ish look. I tried to find the post where he mentions the shop that did it, but couldn't find it.

I guess I can use that to chrome my rim's lip? I have polished lips and they are dull.
