The radio delete plate and clock delete plate for my car is in need of refreshing,is it silver paint or plastic chrome? There is a plastic chromer in my area.

You think them plates are plastic?  Anyway, platers plate anything...glass, aluminum, brass, plastic

I'd like information on that plastic plater, really not many guys that do that FIlm plating found on some 60s cars on plastic.

I think there is a difference between 'film chrome' and plating.  The film chrome is only done at a few places.  My guy says he can chrome plate plastic in much the same manner as plating a bumper.

I called the place,they are owned jointly with family with a trailer supply business.They quoted over the phone the radio delete plate and the clock delete $55.00 total .I was told there is a 2-3 week turn around right now .

Let me know how that turns out.  If it looks good,  I'll send mine.  The only place I knew of is Mr G's in Oklahoma, and he charges $300 for the set.  Very good price if it is legit.  Keep us posted.

10-4....will do.

A new process being used, looks to be less expensive.  I expect it would work on plastic as well as on pot metal given they use a eurethane primer.  Was an article in Street Rodder.
