Chrome plating in Europe?

[peekay]

Does anyone know of a company in Europe who specializes in chrome-plating plastic model parts?

Any place that does "Vacuum Metalizing" will do it......for a fee of course.

Unless you can find an entity that specializes in model car parts, it will likely be quite expensive because of the small volume.

 You could also look for someone who does "Spray Chrome" as well.

I believe this technique originated in Europe so chances are there is someone around who could do it for you.

I would check on line for either of those 2 services in Europe.

Thanks Steve. Yes, there are companies doing vacuum metalizing in Switzerland but only on an industrial scale with an exorbitant minimum charge. It would be less expensive to send the parts to America and back. I'm hoping there's a European equivalent to Chrome-Tech, ie someone who "understands" model cars.

Peter,

 

One of my friends that lives in the Netherlands sends his parts to this place. I've seen photos of the parts & they look very nice.
