We actually coated production parts for GM using this process....they were mirrors used in the heads-up dash displays.
Vacuum metallizing produces a very thin and highly reflective coating, which would work well for this application.
Exterior parts, or parts that are handled often (knobs) require a much thicker plating, and are usually electroplated.
