Seeking decorative chrome plating of low volume plastic Ferrari restoration parts
We make a chrome plated plastic bezel for Ferrari temp/vent levers. The part is ~3" long, ~3/4" wide, and the plating can extend up to ~1/2" on the back. The part has 2 5 mm x ~ 14 mm studs that must not be plated. The parts are newly manufactured polyurethane castings with the area to be plated highly polished as cast.
Vacuum deposition of Al has not been satisfactory as our customers have used cleaners that stripped the plating.
We also make several small body emblems that require black chrome plating. These parts are ~3" x ~2" x 1/4" thick, and have 2 5 mm x 14 mm threaded mounting studs that must not be plated.
Looking for quote on plating quantities of 5, 10, 20, & 50 pieces. We often need 1-2 week turn-around of 5-10 pieces.
Our current supplier is charging over $20/part with 9-12 week turn-around. Neither the price, nor the turn-around is acceptable.
We can eMAIL a description of the parts including photos and plating requirements.
