Chrome plating

Picked up my Chrome plating on Saturday. I used Agbrigg Chrome platers in Leeds. The bloke there Shaun is a biker too and so pretty sympathetic to our needs! He said that it would be a few weeks, but it only took him one week!! This was most surprising as I had previously rung Prestige platers in Mexborough and they were talking 3-4 months!!!

I wasnt sure on the level of finish that I needed to have the parts in, so most stuff I had done to a fairly high standard myself. He said most people bring things in a lot worse state so I was OK. He has a big polishing and sanding wheel and gave me an idea of the level of finish that he can achieve there too. I also took my stainless pipes in a pretty rough state, and he cleaned and polished them up to a mirror finish. I was so impressed that I took all the other ally covers off the engine for him to do as well.

There is about 20 parts in this box but didnt want to unwrap everything.



The pipes:



This has certainly pulled my completion date forward - just need to paint everything else now!!

  1. Thanks for sharing!

    Chrome plating is seriously a good job to take over in weekdays. Chrome plating can be done on new parts at the factory, or it can be done for the consumer by a custom job shop providing metal finishing or custom plating services.Consumers can get parts plated at many companies which specialize in electroplating, and some automotive finishers have a great deal of experience with chrome plating. Or if you want to have get a chrome restoration services, then try online service providers such as Douglas which offers Re-chroming of classic & vintage cars, motorcycle and household items with a a specialised factory set up in the UK.
