[Roadsters] FW: To Chrome or Not to Chrome, That Is The Question

[Mitchell Planck]

I did a quick search and there are several chrome plating alternatives out
there - they seem to mostly use a process similar to painting. You send the
part and they send it back pretty. Paint type prep work - they'll do it if
you haven't (for extra cost of course), then a special coating, some call it
silvering, and some can add some coloring agents to give a gold or other
color. The results looked nice in the pictures and they said it needed care
like any other painted piece.

Does anyone have any experience with that type of coating? I didn't see any
prices but most of the sites said it was cheaper and 'greener' than
traditional chrome plating.
