Well?

 

you give me 10 bucks and i will go get me some chrome spray paint and i will get you all the chrome emblems you want. lol. besides that i been looking to and have not found any.

 

Why doesn't it surprise me that you posted that. You know what I'm looking for.

 

yea i know what you are looking for. i wanted some too. but i dont know were to get it from

 

There is a chrome shop off of the Niota exit that probably could chrome your emblems.

 

on my way to work today i seen a toyota with a front licence plate that had a chrome emblem on it. i guess you could try to find one with scion and just take it off of there. but i dont know how big it would be and if it would fix were you wanted to put it.

 

Here's a method that should work - It's called vacuum metalization. Here's an exceprt from a website I found:

Custom Chrome Plastic

Many People think it’s impossible to chrome plastic, it is not. The process of chrome plating over plastic is actually a process called vacuum metalizing and it is different than electroplating or chrome plating. Vacuum metallizing is process used to make flash light reflectors and automotive lighting shine like chrome. Vacuum metallizing is the process of evaporating aluminum in a vacuum chamber forming an aluminum cloud which than condenses back on and bonds to the plastic to form a uniform layer, which shines like chrome. After the metalizing takes place there is a protective topcoat applied similar to the ones used in the automotive industry. You can also add dyes to the topcoat to achieve bright chrome colors and different shades of gold, bronze, copper, and gunmetal. It is much more environmentally friendly and cost effective than chrome plating or chrome painting. You can vacuum metalize many materials including plastic, metal, glass, fiberglass, and more. There are many different applications for vacuum metallizing including; chrome helmets and accessories, motorcycle/dirt bike parts and accessories, sporting goods, toys, car parts, novelty items, display items, decorative fixtures, cosmetic enclosures, ect. If you want the look of custom chrome on anything plastic, glass, metal, ect.

Hope this helps

 

This is true. But this type of coating is not every durable (especially on the exterior parts). Vacuum Metalizing is used on the "chrome" parts in plastic model car kits.

But there are other ways to coat plastic parts with real chromium. That is how car manufacturers make their plastic chromed emblems (as most of them are plastic nowadays)..

The process involves first spraying the emblem with conductive lacquer, then copper electroplating and finally chromium electroplating.

I don't have info about any places which would do this type of coating but I'm sure they're out there. Google search?
