Blackie Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 My mates just started up a company doing chrome/Gold plating. I am going to get my wheels black chromed. What Supra parts would you have chrome/gold plated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm thinking of Members sending parts for plating at a low price, Can't send an engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to see how my wheels come out first and then get on to it. Just seeing if there's any interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I can chrome plate most engine bay parts and have been doing so for a while now. If your mate can chrome plate ally and also do Black chrome (probably the only person in the uk, as in proper chrome plating not paint) I would be interested to see the results. What experience does he have of this ? Is he doing the polishing as well ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will put pictures up when he has done it, He was saying to me something about coating the ally wheel with something or other to get the chrome to stick. He managed to gold brush plate his phone with 24 c and thats ally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
