plastic re-chroming
 
I need to have my nova dash emblem re-chromed it is plastic. Any recommendations? I had one place do some plastic knobs for me and it didn't work out that well.

Haven't had anything done lately, but about 10 yrs ago I had Mr. G's in TX do the dash bezel for a 69 Chevelle I had at the time. The first time they did it, the results were totally unacceptable. Sent it back and they eventually re-did it (with acceptable results) for no additional cost, but the entire project wound up taking about 7 months.

Just a quick note about Mr. G's. There is no guarantee that you will get your original part back. They will even tell you that.

Bill, Glad your experience worked out. I used to get dash bezels done by a guy in Detroit for $30 @. I did the paint detailing, but that was easy. The only bummer there was that he used an engraver to carve a batch number in each part. That didn't do the dash vent balls any good. He's been gone for a decade now.

I know this has been discussed on Team Chevelle. Plastic chroming has become very expensive.
