Gold-plated car engine.

Gold-plated engine part.

It never stops amazing me to what extend car lovers go. This is not the sort of thing you find in your average car. This engine has been electroplated with 24 k gold. (Some people must have a lot of money.)
This is not the average work we normally do. At Chrometech we are very creative and oblige to the customers wishes. Our Logo is" If you can imagine it, we can chrome it." You will be surprised what other things besides plastic car parts customers bring in to us for chrome-plating.

Sentimental Akubra Hat

BRONZED AKUBRA HAT.

The trademark name ‘Akubra’, which is an Aboriginal word for head covering has become an Australian Icon. The shape is identical with the landscape of outback Australia, with a sharply rising and falling, rough, or jagged surface

I believe they made over 20 different styles of hats for the new Film “Australia”

Our customer was not part of that Film. He traveled across Australia for many years taking accurate measurements of land areas in order to determine boundaries, elevations, and dimensions. The Akubra has protected millions of Australians against harsh conditions like sun, wind and rain.
The hat was on his head 6-7 days per week and became his best friend (beside his wife that traveled with him) On his retirement the wife sent the sentimental worn out hat to be Bronzed.
The Bronzed hat is now a showcase with many stories to be told.

At Chrometech we not only Chrome on plastic and fiberglass but any material can be electroplated.

Why not Bronze your sentimental items?

Famous science fiction film

Famous science fiction film.

In the film Keanu Reeves was starring as Neo.
“Neo was a young software engineer and part-time hacker who was singled out by some mysterious figures who wantrf to introduce him into the secret of 'the matrix'. The cops also seemed to be after him, and he took a chance on discovering what he always suspected: that the world was not quite what it seemed to be and that a sinister conspiracy is at work.”
You might remember a bar scene where Cypher said (about his drink): "It's good for two things, degreasing engines and killing brain cells."
The selectively chromed glasses they used for the drinks were Chrome-plated by the Bronzing Studio- Chrometech in Castle Hill.

Look at all that chrome.

Almost everything in this car is chrome-plated, from speedo surrounds to air vents, from radio surrounds to door handles. Everything that was plastic is now chromed.
I believe that men and cars have a special kind of bonding. Men are like kids when it comes to cars. Stand around the pub and you will never find a man so talkative when he is talking about his car. I am yet to meet a man who doesn't swear by his car and dreams about owning a glorious automobile. Make your dreams come true and bring all your plastic parts to be chrome-plated.

Hot Rod show

It's been one or two weeks since my last blog.

Sunday 16 November 2008 I exhibited my chrome plated plastic and fibreglass car parts at the Hot rod show in Horsley Park.

At the Show N Shine show as they called it (Our Logo "Let your pride shine") I saw a lot of amazing Hot Rods, vintage and classic cars. Besides the cars there were a lot of activities and also a live Rock ‘N Roll band.

A few weeks before the show I promised to chrome-plate a piece of fibreglass for a club member. When he saw the chrome-plated piece he said “I never expected it to look that fantastic, I haven't even seen steel as shiny as that"

I had my Chrometech sticker on the car and a guy came up to me and said “Oh, I did my door handles with you about 10 years ago and I use the car everyday and the handles are still as good as new"

A touch of luxury with Chrome

Acquire A Touch of Luxury with Chrome.

Chrome always impresses with its smooth finish. But look how fantastic it is with its mirrored

finish.

Chrome-plate your dash, grill, door handles, mirrors and it will transform your car into a

spectacular show piece.

Real electroplating (copper, nickel, chrome) on plastic involves many complicated processes of

many steps. Isn’t it reassuring to learn that we have over 42 years of experience in chroming on

plastic and fibreglass? Could you get excited about that?

You have probably searched in Google, car forums, looked through car magazines to find an alternative to chrome “look-alike”
We believe that you are aware that it is very difficult but possible to electroplate on plastic and fibreglass.
The basic problem in attempting to electroplate onto plastic is, they are electrically non-conductive. We need to apply a conductive paint because plastic cannot be immersed in a plating solution and coated in the same way that metal can.
We have nearly 45 years experience in electroplating.
