Question Chroming MAZDA RX-7 Lettering?

On an 88 N/A GXL, I had recently had It painted 1999 Miata Highlight Metallic Silver $$$.

The lettering In the back is black. Although I thought to remove these entirely during the prepping, I opted to keep the badges to show off, to everybody, a true
rotory marvel that displays proudly MAZDA RX-7.

My question Is can the badges be chromed to better display the badges? I had seen, for example, chromed lettering on an older MX-6. But what about the badge RX-7? If anybody has done this, please let me know! Or even display a pic.

Go to a craft store and ask them if theres anything you could paint/plate them with. Maybe you could silver or even gold plate them .

Take your stocker off and have it chrome plated. Scale modelers do this all the time. Goto a search engine (Melikes google.com) and type in plastic chrome plating or something like that. It will have to be sent off cause it has to be done in a vacuum machine. Peace out.

Ghetto? Infact, when I swap out my Interior from a 90' Turbo II (Blue to Black- I still think this Is the best mod uptodate) I took the MAZDA RX-7 badges aswell which are In mint shape! I just think It would look great chromed. Besides Victoria British sells these brand new, not chromed.

Sorry for the long awaited reply. I did last summer. The Turbo II was Involved In an engine fire which made the engine bay useless. I sold the chassis since.
