Did you know that we also cater for bathroom renovators who want their plastic taps and fittings re-chromed.
A big part of our business is to chrome-plate plastic and fibreglass dashboards, grills, mirrors, door handles and anything that is NOT metal
One of our customers inquired if we can bronze a blade of grass. The grass was where he met his fiancee 1o years ago.
Nothing surprises us anymore, but the imagination certainly went wild at exactly why people want things chrome plated..
We bronzed wedding lingerie,lace on wedding dresses, body parts and even covered dim sums in 24 k gold. As well as helping artists with sculptures we assist people who want to preserve and protect their keepsakes and heirlooms to turn them into keepsakes. It's all about eternalising a moment in time.
The Bronzing Studio has also restored and covered objects tied to people leaving Earth, including a pair of sunglasses owned by Elvis Presley, but now the property of a collector of Elvis memorabilia. We also silverplated a rose from Elvis's casket.
People have asked to electroplate half-eaten hamburgers, doughnuts, computer games, jeans and dog collars. A director from the crematorium asked us if we could bronze a chicken leg, in an investigation into whether human bodies will be able to be preserved
in the future. Technically we could preserve a human body, but it is morbid and imagine the licences you'd need.
