@4thgenphil I'm very dissapointed in you. How come you haven't bitten. This is not the Phil I once knew and loved and merc I also thought you would have reminded me that you are English too.

@Donald looked into this shenanigans a while ago I think...

If you get it up and running and get good at it, then I have some plastic bits that need doing :D

That was electroplating with nickel, wurly. This process seems similar to the one used to make mirrors, which we might have talked about at some point though.

Turns out you need to pre paint everything with their own primer and then laquer over the chrome which means a massive amount of time consumed and therefore a very expensive process.
