Default Rechroming headlight and projector reflectors?

Curious if anyone on here knows someone who will rechrome the reflectors in my headlights and projectors. I've got eight projectors, all with chrome in pretty bad shape.

I'd try a google on 'plastic rechroming'

What you probably really want is a form of vacuum metallization...

That's an interesting site, but upon contacting them, I was informed that they only do automotive interior parts. I was referred to another company that might be able to help, though. If this turns out to be a good solution for faded or flaked off reflective surfaces and the price per unit decreases with increased volume, would there be an interest on this site for some sort of group buy, or do people just tend to buy new projectors when this occurs?
