Sports & Theatre Chroming

Bold, reflective chrome finishes for helmets, props, stage elements, and performance gear.

Whether it’s a theatrical prop under the spotlight, a display piece for a museum, or a chrome-finished helmet for a sports team, our liquid chrome process adds dramatic impact. We work with creators, stage designers, prop builders, athletes, coaches, and production teams to deliver show-stopping finishes built for visual effect.

WHAT WE CAN CHROME

We chrome a wide variety of rigid performance and stage items, including:

  • Sports helmets (display or non-impact decorative use)

  • Stage props & set pieces

  • Costume accessories

  • Armour, mask shells & rigid costume elements

  • Dance or theatre display props

  • Rigid foam props with hardened shells

  • Showroom & exhibit pieces

  • Decorative athletic trophies & awards

  • Signage & branding elements

  • Museum display components

  • Specialty promotional items

If it’s rigid and fits within 2.5 ft³, we can chrome it.

What we Cannot Chrome

To ensure the finish remains flawless:

We cannot chrome:

  • Flexible materials (rubber, fabric, EVA foam, silicone, flexible plastics)

  • Impact-rated sports equipment intended for active play

  • Anything exposed to heat

  • Items larger than 2.5 ft³

If you aren’t sure whether your prop or gear qualifies, just send a photo — we’ll confirm immediately.

SIZE LIMITS & TURNAROUND

Maximum part size: Up to 2.5 ft³ per piece. Turnaround time: Most theatre and sports chrome projects take 1–2 weeks, depending on: surface prep material type number of pieces chosen chrome or colour chrome finish complexity of the item Surface prep: Props and helmets often need smoothing or sealing before chroming for a flawless mirror effect. We’ll tell you exactly what’s required before starting.

WHY LIQUID CHROME IS PERFECT FOR STAGE & SPORTS

Liquid chrome is ideal for visual-impact projects because:
 

  • It offers a mirror-bright, dramatic finish under lights

  • Works on materials traditional plating can’t touch (plastics, foam props, resins)

  • Perfect for non-functional replica sports equipment

  • Creates striking surface reflections for theatre, dance, and film

  • Allows colour chrome options like gold, black chrome, reds, blues, and custom tones

  • Lightweight props remain lightweight

  • Cost-effective for high-volume or multi-piece productions
     

This is the chrome used by creators who need their work to shine — literally.
