I found a new product called reprochrome its electroplating with nickel and copper and then reprochrome..
which i guess is safer than real chrome which is deadly and kills people.
Has anyone tried or seen this ? Does it look like chrome ?

You would have to plate a lot of parts to pay for the cost of that kit,even if you dont count your time and effort.

What do you guys do for chrome ? Ive only found a few places online that im not sure i can trust really.. Orlando has not one chromcr in google. and prices seem to be 50 for small items all the way to 400 for bumpers and such.. Ive only checked a couple of them.. Any advice.? Wish i could get it done locally save on shipping. Apparantly the whole industry has the goverment up its butt for all the toxic waste afterwards.

You'll probably have to ship your pieces but I have used Keystone:

For gold plating I have used New England Chrome Plating:

For plastic rechroming I have used Custom Coatings:

Every one of these shops do chrome plating, but I tried to find the best one for the specific job. I have been pleased with all the work I got.
