Getting stuff re-chromed

<< < (2/4) > >>

diesel:
If they are going to do all the prep work for you, then you may want to tell them not to polish the welds smooth.

As a lot of custom chrome has smooth welds - you want to avoid this by communicating it clearly at the outset

Good luck  :daumenhoch:

Mattdub:
Ditto what Markyp & diesel said ^^^^^^^^

Go speak to them , explain no smoothing of welds & avoid over polishing which can change the shape/contour of things . Also if any stamps/serials there explain these need to be legible afterwards .

It's all about communication & prep , never assume .

martylaa:
Ok cheers fellas, mark what happened to your mongoose?

mark 2:
Ditto some of the above, I've had redline flight chainwheels ruined - the logo and lines half polished out, that made no sense why they did that, bananaman had the logo of a hlt stem half polished out. Aero Speed welds a few years back, PK Ripper welds fooked, the detail in the beading gone. Beware!

they removed the og chrome but very little corrosion,basically they just chromed straight over all the crap!!the box section behind the bb is a right eyesore and the frame in general is in poor condition,whats annoying is that im damn sure i could have kept the og chrome and just autosol'd it back as good as that if id known! :'(
