I shipped them a few items today. I'll let you know how it works out.

What kind of parts are you sending? Vacuum metalizing is not true chrome. Depending on what you are sending, it may look OK. I used to do the purchasing Chrysler's concept car builder. Actual chrome on palstic can be done but it is very expensive. I would use the vacuum metalizing for some lamp housings that would be under a lense. Other plastic parts that had to look perfect were truely chromed plated.
