Does anyone know how to do this? I understand that you can annodize chrome to some metals but i want to make a plastic tube look like a chrome pipe.

I got some chrome paint from b&q but that just looks like silver paint

Any ideas?

It may be worth dropping an email to Andy Robinson from http://www.robinson-race-cars.co.uk

They've done chrome plated plastic parts for customers before but I'm not sure who they use. If you go on the site, go to customer's cars, and click on John Hendy's '57 Chevy. The front bumper is plastic and was chromed by them.

would wrappin it in tin foil count as chroming? No? I'll get my coat

teddy you watch too much blue peter and why dont you. "YOUR BARRED"

Any real answers??

I know of a guy that can turn water into wine.....but I'm not sure if he can turn plastic into chrome. I'll see if I can find his number or a website.

The only problem is, he's not done the wine trick for about 2000 years because it got a bit repetative. The latest party trick I knew he was doing was him putting nails through his hands and feet, but I dont think that will help you with you plastic problem.

Like I said before, Andy Robinson is the only person I know of who can get plastic chromed.........

Yep Mate Andy Robinson Is Your Best Bet I Do Some Work For Him And He Is The Only Person I Know Who Can Get It So Id Drop Him A Bell If I Was You Buddy!!

There was a program about this ere chroming thing on discovery one time (the program that tells you random facts and info and how to's etc) and to make things chrome they showed you how they dip everything into big pots of shiny liquid stuff and then into iced water and then they dip it again!!

it was very educational!

Are you sure that wasnt the chavs guide to snorting coke?
