Ok heres the deal, the topic has come up again and the progress on our dragon emblems has come to a point where we need to make the decision. Basically we cannot find a company who will chrome plate plastics. there are 2 other routes we are thinking about, but are open to any other ideas. It goes like this:
A) we can get them chrome plated still... however, the emblems would need to be made of brass for the plating to adhere and not melt the piece. PRO: we still have them chrome plated CON: its going to bump the price to approximatly 45 bucks an emblem B) we can continue with using the hi-temp plastic as planned, but they will need to be spray painted, either by me, or by you, your choice. PRO: Keeps cost low and still good quality product CON: the emblem is spray painted, and like the painted taillights and engine pieces, MAY need to be repainted once and a while. C) keep waiting and come up with another idea. -------------------- ![]() Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all No but I don't buy it Like anything you do, as anyone you are Cause I'm...

yea, im real excited about these things! another cool thing with the plastic ones is you can detail paint them personally to your specific color scheme, im also going to screw around with cutting the backround out, detail painting, doing touch up stuff, making some of these prototypes really wicked! you can also have the option of having one sent to you "in white" meaning just the plastic unpainted, or customized (by me
