How are 'assemblies' chrome plated?

[RICH MUISE]

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but I'll ask anyways. I have a few pieces I'd like to get chrome plated..one of them being the hood safety catch, which, as you know, is a catch riveted to a bracket with a fairly hefty rivet. Is it posible to have it chromed as an assembly...my guess is no...and if not how does one 're-rivet something like that, or would you replace the rivet with something like a shoulder screw?   Rich

Sounds like you answered your own question to me.

Rich you can get it plated, just not going to have the very clean detail shine unless it is a completely cherry part.
