I thought I found some good Chrome paint *LINK*

Been looking for some that will stay chrome looking when handled. All that I've tried looks great until you touch it. Every clear spray I try over it turns it to satin. Alsa Easy Chrome looks like it would work but man look at the price.

I was watching some show about restoring cars and they used something similar to restore the chrome. I had never heard of such a thing as chrome paint and was dubious about durability. Looked good on the car on TV, but I still question the longevity.
At the prices they show on that website, they should throw in the piece to be chromed.

One time chroming/re-chroming can get kind of expensive, with all of the chemicals involved in the chroming process the EPA has made a lot of restrictions and requirements for running that kind of business.
Whoah

Wow, that's some pricey stuff. What about electroplating?

electroplating bone?

I thought I'd read about a way to electroplate plastic. ?? I asked Mr Google about "electroplating non-conductive materials" and he provided a list of references I don't have time to read now, but I did see a PDF of a project where it looked like some students were plating things like a bone and an acorn with copper.

I don't know about electroplating per se but many years ago I guy in the Nashville club made silver plated tomohaks ( I have no idea how that word is spelled) out of wood. I remember looking up the process but it was beyond my budget at that time. As I remember it wasn't that expensive just more than I wanted to pay at that time. I just looked and there are a lot of different procedures so I may have to do more reading. gotta take the grandkids back today so that's 8 hours of driving through the mountains. Won't get much done today.
Chrome plating plastic

Saw something on TV. They had a chamber and a bar of chromium? Used a laser to excite the chromium and the particles covered the plastic.
