I work in a body shop in a small town in Colorado. I have an 06 Chrysler 300C & want to black chrome all the chrome. We’ve experimented with adhesion promoters & tinted clear coats. Its been easy to achieve the color I want, but adhesion is another matter. Someone mentioned electroplating kits, and here I am.

Are the chrome parts (window trim, grill, emblem, belt molding, mirrors) chrome or nickel plated plastic . I’m asking because in the Black Krome descriptions, it states the chrome plating must be stripped first.

Should I be looking at brush or immersion plating? What are the advantages/disadvantages/suggested methods I should use?

There are a few parts that I’m not sure how they would react to be immersed in an electroplating solution:

Parts that are part rubber & part chromed plastic (window moldings)
My grill is partly chromed & partly painted- would immersion plating plate the chrome part only?

Can a person purchase a kit & with a little practice produce good results? Or am I expecting too much?

Thanks for your time, I have never seen or heard of this before today.
