Recomendation for Chroming

Post by NotNormal »

Hello gents

Need to get some parts re-chromed (door/boot handles and number plate light etc.)

Does anyone have any recomendations for a decent chromer. Done the usual google search but as we all know there are a number of people saying they can do it but want a proper/durable job so past experience from people is key IMO.

Anyone got any suggestions? I'm in Surrey but not an issue to put in a box and post to someone.

Regards

Derby Plating are brilliant on anything, including badges, probably as good as you get but top end pricewise, £200 plus for a bumper!

If you are planning on getting things like door & boot handles re chromed make sure there is no pitting in the Mazak as there is not really anything a chromer can do about this.
