Gold Plating

It does have an SC emblem on the trunk and its gold.

Maybe they electroplated the metallic surfaces, but couldn't do the plastic covered "R" logo, so left it stock.

Has anyone succesfully painted or plated in gold the chrome plastic side script riviera badges? My car has the gold package and all I could find without spending $500 for that set were these dealer chrome plated ones. They appear to be plastic and not metal. So don't even know if plating them is possible.

Chris, you may want to check with car dealerships in your area. I know that there is a process for this and can actually be done with the emblem on the car. The dealerships dont usually do it themselves but have an outside vendor come in. Maybe they can steer you in the right direction.

I had asked them already, but the only place they gave me doesn't do it. So I didn't have any luck there.

Well good luck. If I find out any info I will let you know.

Thanks, lol. I may just have to change everything over to silver just to keep it all the same.

Chris: Check the yellow pages or Google for someone in your area that does PDR (paintless dent repair). Many shops that do PDR also do plating or at least perhaps they can steer you toward someone who can.

I've done the searches. Got one email in to a place near me, but no response yet. I'll try the PDR guy. I have a number somewhere for him, lol. Thanks for the information.

Chris: You might give this guy a call...

Ok, thanks.

Ok. I couldn't find anyone around that could plate plastic. I found that you can get individual pieces from the gold rush plating. Here's the link to order individual items http://store.goldrushplating.com/19burigoemsi.html. It's pretty pricy, but I want the correct items for my car to. So I'm willing to spend the extra money. I only bought the two side script emblems.

Don't forget to post pics

I will when I get them. Should be about a week till I see them. I'm probably going to go ahead and get the trunk lock one to in a couple of weeks.

Here's a pic of those emblems I got from gold rush.

Gotta say I'm not a big gold trim fan, but that emblem sure looks nice on that teal green.

It originally came with Gold, so I just wanted to keep it the same. I do like the look though.

Wow, looks great Chris. Gold Rush does a good job. So they can chrome/gold plate ANY plastic trim piece?

I'm not entirely sure, but they did freshly gold plate these plastic emblems.

I've also found some 24kt gold paint that matches really well. So far the best match for these emblems that I've been able to find. I'm going to be using it on the grill emblem. Here's a link to that paint. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00114QC5G

What I especially like is the Antique gas pump in the reflection..cool.
