Sorry if this is in the wrong section but ineed some help I'm meaning to get a Daft Punk helmet chromed, but the cast is in Resin, I've seen Tekparasite and Volpin have theirs chromed, but they are in other countries, i live in the UK and out of the 7 companies i have contacted, none will chrome it. I was wondering is there a similar process to get that mirror shine or is it something i'm missing? Many thanks, Jack
Chroming generally involves electroplating an object with chrome, to electroplate it the object needs to conduct electricity. Hence you cant chrome resin.
