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...

I don't mind the Hi-temp plastic option - though I'd prefer it painted (silver) for me, since my painting skills are, well, let's just say I still have trouble colouring inside the lines
The main reason I voted for plastic was I'm sure these things are going to look awesome, and I'm worried that they may go missing when I occassionally have to park in questionable areas. I'd rather not be replacing a $NZ90 emblem too often - plastic painted with, say a metallic silver paint, should still look good and be more affordable. Just my 2 cents, I'll be buying one regardless -------------------- |
