    In Texas I don’t know. In northern Ca. there is a place that does plastic. It is not a true chrome but a process where a chrome like finish is applied to the surface of almost any items. I think the name of the process is Spectra Chrome. Process is used on some of the monster trucks and some show cars. 

      The MP Lafer cars have a plastic grill shell that is chromed .  It will peal off of the grill. Mine is pealing and Way down the road it will have to be done over.

    Greg, the name of the stuff that you bought and where you got it from would be most helpful.  Is it metal tape or vinyl/plastic?  How do you apply to shaped (other than flat) objects. 

    Also, I would appreciate it if you could post some pictures of what you used it on so successfully.
