Could you be a little more specific. Plastic for what? Sheet form? A specific plastic part?

If you just want to have a part coated I found a couple of links on the web:

Default Yes, we do high quality chrome plating over plastic parts

Yes, we do the chrome plating over the plastic parts. We have to plate copper layer first to seal the whole plastic and then chrome plated over copper.

We sell lots of Chrome Plated Front Grille, Side Air Vents, Fog Light Bezel for Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. Excellent quality. You can go to our web and then go to "Land Rover Products" to see the beautiful pictures.

There are two another technologies that is "Vacuum Deposit" and "Spray Chrome". Both are not durable and the chrome layer is easily peeled off or faded. They are much less expensive but quality has no comparision. We have some customers had purchased such failure products and then purchase our real chrome plated Grille and return those failure chrome look parts as core return. If you are interested in seeing how bad the quality, I can send you some pictures. Send me an email to apsisusa@aol.com.
