Hi Kent,

Yes, I contacted a place that can plate the plastic. After all, most of the new chrome on cars now a days is plated plastic so it’s pretty common practice. I will probably go that route. As far as mounting, I was going to replicate the original way the factory parts were done with the exception of the side grilles. Epoxied studs will be used on the plastic parts before plating and that will hold the front and side grilles in place like originals. I did a flange on the front grilles as the factory did, and I’ll post up a picture of that later.

I figured I’d epoxy the car in White since I’ll be painting it that color with a blue interior and top. It matches my plane!
