Chrome Plastic
I don't know how long it will last, but a friend of mine had a lot of the plastic peices chromed on his busa. He has had it like that for a year and it is still doing good. He doesn't ride the bike much though.........when he is not riding it he keeps it in his shop.
My buddy has the factory windscreen on his turbo gsxr 1000 chromed. Been like that for awhile. Costs a lot for a quality piece, but it is pretty amazing when done right.
He had another place do chrome ram air covers on a 954rr previously, and after a short time they turned yellow/goldish.
Make sure it's quality stuff before you drop the dough!

Haven't tried it yet, but this seems like a pretty good alternative to "dipping" and looks a little more advanced than "chrome in a can"

I don't know why it wouldn't work although somehow I doubt it is the same process as chroming metal (nickel, copper, zinc). Somehow I think it is similar to model parts. I have an SLP plastic logo on my car that is chromed plastic and it is still as shiny as the day I put it on 3 years ago.
Also, HOK Krome looks incredible although it is more than just spray chrome and is in fact a precise process. To be honest, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference if correctly done between the HOK and a truly chromed piece.

Well, so much for that then.

Covers several flavors of chrome paint, and some real experience with them. Interesting reading. Certainly makes me not want to try it. lol.
