“Coating Technology for the Auto Restorer”. According to Andrew E. Kalman, this outfit can refinish chromed plastic
parts: “Their process is not a chroming process. Rather, they vacuum-deposit aluminum on the stripped part and then
spray a clear polyurethane over it.

“I inspected several parts (hubcap, grille, taillight cluster) and was suitably impressed. The finish on these parts was
very nice - perhaps not as “hard” looking as chrome, but very reflective, with a bit of depth, and extremely uniform in
their color. Basically, it looks like polished aluminum with a protective clearcoat on it. They generally do plastics and
pot metals, in aluminum, gold, copper or titanium nitride.

“XJ-S headlamp buckets are $75 each, grilles $120. This seems to compare favorably with new parts. 50% down at
time of order. He quoted me 3-4 weeks. It’s cheaper if you deliver the parts pre-stripped (they get charged $45 to strip
the grille, for instance).”

INDUSTRIAL PLATING COMPANY

Frank Aguilar, President

San Carlos, California

+1 (415) 593-1046

A small company that does mainly industrial plating for the surrounding Silicon Valley high-tech firms. They do all
plating to military specs. Supposedly base their prices on the actual effort involved rather than the cost of new Jaguar

700

parts, so are much cheaper than most. Unclear on whether they will actually do business by phone and mail; best to call
and ask nicely.

According to Mark Wentworth, this place “will put any paint into a spray can. I got the paint codes from my ’67 122S
and my ’80 245, called them, and they sent me 12-ounce cans of the right match. They also provide an exact matching
service if you can ship them a part, like the fuel filler door or some such item. If you are afraid that the “spray bomb”
will not yield good results: I can’t tell the factory job from the spray can (They use a very nice nozzle).”
