yup they did mate,but i sent that in the post to them instead of speaking in person so i can kind of let them off for that,after talking to them today tho it seems that the only parts they seem interested in polishing are the top tube,down tube and seat tube,everything else can get stuffed,even all tubes within an inch or two of the welds,not good!! :tickedoff:

phantom photon:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO   :'(

Like you say it sounds to me like they haven't prepped the tubing properly. That's where the majority of the time and effort has to be put in either by machine or hand. The chrome finish will only be as good as the prep work i.e. poor prep = poor finish.

I would take it somewhere else who will do a proper job  ;)

DIRTBIKER250F:
Mark put a rocket up their arse mate, the finish is totally down to prep, they have all the gear to prep well its just if they do or not. Dont forget your paying them money to do a job, simple as that, if you dont get a satisfactory answer outa them send it up here and ill get my guys to do it for you, they charge £170 for f&f and trust me they Prep. Here are 3 bikes they have done, you decide  :daumenhoch:









If you want their details Mark, PM me  :daumenhoch:

id get them to strip it and have a go yourself at the polishing. it does take a while but you know that you will see the end results and its gonna be a lot cheaper than sending it elsewhere. ive never done a frame but del has and his looked chrome before the chrome. drop him a pm :daumenhoch:

shame that there doesnt seem to be many decent chromers out there for our requirements aint it. must admit butts bike shop ( contacts are on burnerworld ) is prob where i would go. other than that i would use db250's contact because i trust pauls judgement. not much help to you is this but may help other members reading this :daumenhoch:

regards dave
