Where can I get plastic chromed?

I would like to chrome my shifter bezel to match my Momo brake handle. Does anyone know if this is possible?



I would like to get the look of this VW

search the net for it. I forget exactly who/what brand it is now, but it's some cool stuff... I've seen an M3 and Supra painted with it and they both look like they were dipped in chrome. it's NOT cheap either, but then again it's cool stuff.

don't waste money sending it to a chrome company - do it yourself with spray paint. i am sure u will get the results you want if you do it carefully.
