There is nothing I am aware of that will duplicate the chrome-look
that is applied to plastic trim.
 
However, MR G RECHROMED PLASTIC in Ft. Worth TX (817-831-3501)
will exchange plastic body trim pieces for a modest price.

I have not personally used this service, but a friend with a '66
GTO did for some interior panel trim. He contacted them via phone,
obtained the info, shipped the pieces by UPS, paid for them on VISA,
and it took only a week. This was for apx 10 trim parts. He
subsequently mailed another 20 to 40 small trim pieces. All work
was redone on originals and looked new. I am not sure about cost
since my friend considers the GTO as work any expense.
They also offer a do-it-yerself-kit, but I do not know the quality
of such a kit- call for info.
