ReChroming 1966 dash plastic

I had mine done by CV Plastics Plating. Chuck did an excellent job, but it took many attempts to get it right. I think he doesn't want to do that particular piece again. However, I can advise this: find an excellent dash to use, because even the smallest fingernail scratch can show through the plating. Also, choose the shop you will use by having a look at their work (on the exact piece in question). I have seen many examples which have lost all their detail because of a heavy layer of material.
