Default Re: Vacuum Metalizing Plastic

Thanks for your replies guys.
The Item I need done is a Plastic/Fiber 1970 Chevelle SS dash.It measures 5'1/2x1&1/2'.
*ChromeTech will not do something this big.
*Laysons only Electro Plates.They won't Aluminum Vacuum Metalize,which requires a LARGE Chamber to atomize the Aluminum in,not like your typical 3 step electro process.
The finish I am looking for is duller and a few mill's think.Not thick & shiny like Chrome plating does,and not orignally done this way back then at the factory.
American Plastic Chrome in Michigan has closed down.They used to take this dash and break it in half to fit in their tank.Then Glue it back together.
The size of my dash,to do this process and Ship back & forth,seems to be the big Dilemma with all.
Mr.G's does offer Vacuum metalizing on this dash,and at a fairly good rate,...so good I am skeptical.Have any of you dealt with Mr.G's in Texas?
I would like to hear if there is a company doing this Process closer to home here in the Midwest??
Rick
