Re: [FWDLK] Chrome Repair?

[Tim Bowers <stellarrestorations@xxxxxxx>]

This would be a good question to ask of the guy who's going to do your chrome plating.

 

You might be able to buy yourself a bench grinder and some buffing pads, and do the polishing yourself.  I'm not sure that there's a whole lot else that could be done away from the plating shop, though.

 

I have no idea what good it would do to wash the parts in dish soap.

 

Excessive pitting is repaired with applications of copper, and then buffed.  Some sanding can be involved, and then buffed on a wheel.

Does anyone know what you need to do to ease the rechroming price? I read that if you clean your parts with dish soap the chrome guy will lower the price.  Is that true? How do  you repair pitting?  Does the chrome guy sand parts to get them smooth?

 

THANKS FOR A HAPPY YEAR!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
