Re: Plastic chroming??
Was in at plating solutions on friday talking to Ross.
Apparently its not called plastic chroming but metalisation of plastic???
There are only 2 plants in Chch for doing this and he has them both. He currently doesn't have the chemicals to be able to do it at the moment. Apparently the manufacturers keep changing them so he is waiting for them to settle down a bit and get it right before he gets anymore.
He said there is a couple of places in auckland that do some sort of vacuum process
