Re-Chrome Plastic Interior Pieces

Does anyone have a good way to re-chrome plastic interior pieces? I have a few things that are wearing down to the plastic or flaking off: Door panel trim, Seat bracket cover, seat belt cover, and dome light cover. Is a chrome rattle can the best option? Let me know what you guys think and I'll go from there. Thanks in advance.

i am looking into this place since it is near me. they say they can chrome anything. i have been to two local plating shops and neither will chrome my metal gauge bezel. i'm pretty sure these guys can:

go to the hobby store and buy the peal and stick on chrome stuff. or the parts stores also has it too.

Ouch.. that hurts both the chrome shops and us, their potential customers

There is a e-bay lister that sells chrome and chrome plastic stuff. He is a local in the Ft worth area. I followed through his on-line store and dug up his web site and he will rechrome your plastic (or will send out a rechromed piece once he inspects yours for core). Now let me see if I can find the site again.

EDIT: had it book marked

I know it looks like fasterners and crap but if you dig around he has plastic chrome plating info there.

good post tony. looks like 101.64 for a 65/66 bezel. not a bad price.
