Emblem Plating

Q. Do you know of any company that chrome plates plastic car emblems? The ones on my 1996 Z-28 are black, like the car, and don't stand out.

Thanks

A. There are places that can chrome plate plastic, but the cost involved would be a little steep. As a good alternative, I would recommend having it painted silver. Take it to a body shop and they can use an air brush to paint it silver, or any other color you'd like, and the cost would be a lot less than plating and will last a lot longer.
