Beautiful!  I think the Sky Raven just lost the title of "coolest jet ever".

I'm shocked how many people think this is something you can do at home.... It's done in a factory, and was NOT cheap.

I guess the question mainly for me is, do you have to provide the Skystriker to the company and they chrome it or do they actually have the Skystriker mold and they just make a chrome version?  I love how the makes the chrome exclusives, but I was just wondering if there was enough interest, would it be possible to do group buys?

The third party auto parts industry has offered chrome plating of plastics for many years (I paid to have parts of my '72 Beetle chromed)
It is expensive, the price when I did plastic dashboard parts and gear shift was the same if I did one part or 7.
The place I used was in Hamilton, but that was 18+ years ago, and I can't remember the name (very close to Dofasco)
A quick google search brought up these guys http://www.cvvacuumplaters.com/
They are selling off all of their hardware, so if you really want to try it yourself get out the Visa.

Well if I ever hit it big with the lottery the I'll build a new house and set up a chrome / customizing room and everyone with over 200 posts gets a free chrome vehicle.  :wink:

Until then, chrome work is expensive and hard to find some one willing to do it.
