Thank you for the feedback. I am still looking for any feedback on the process indicated above with the RC plane material. I am not sure if the pictures were stripped away with the age of the post, but I cannot view the included pictures. I have located the reference to a couple of the vaccum metalizing companies. Here are the websites for others to reference:
www.cvvacuumplaters.com (a.k.a Instument Specialists)
www.laysons.comwww.newdash.comI hate to pay a significant amount of money to send off one small part for plating to then get it back and have to repaint both the glove box section and the upper passanger side section black areas that are in very good original condition. If I repaint those I will also need to repaint the center dash section and drivers side cluster section so the black matches across the whole dash. I want this done right, I just do not want to make a mountain out of a mole hill with this one area of blemished chrome. I have called a couple of hobby supply shops to get their feedback on this material and process. I does not sound like it is a foil transfer process like mentioned above but more of a heat activated adhesive backed vinyl film. It does not transfer a metal like appearence to the underlying material in the rc airplane hobby it shrinks the film to make the skin of the aircraft.
Still seeking ideas on the subject from this very knowledgeable community.
Thank you,
