Default Plastic switch chrome plating

Does anyone know of a plater that does plastic? I want to do the red spotlight switch on my 04 FLHPI. I got a hold of one guy and he said if it wasn't ABS plastic the process would wreck the plastic .The MOCO won't tell me if it is ABS. I want to leave the switch on the bars as its easier than flipping the switch on the nacelle.
