CW Freestyle Bars to be prepped for Chrome

(1/4) > >>

Jamroll:
A couple of questions...
Took some Nitromors to these bars, then some more and then some more but cant get the last bit of paint off, have started sanding but still no joy  :'(
1) any suggestions to clean them up a little more ???
2) Also a little rust across the top, now i can sand down and clean up but they aint going to be purfec, will the chrome cover slight imperfections or they just highlight the shitty areas ???
3) Would the chromers clean up any bits i couldn't sort for a little $$$

Cheers

the chromers may have a right game chroming them as they were originally paint,it means that the metal would have never been polished and the chromers will only give it a quick blast on the polisher which probably wont be enough.i had this problem with an originally white t.a,where they polished it it came out bling chrome,where they didnt get in to was silver,i cpuld have cried,they had to strip it and i sold the frame set as raw :'(

MartyC:
As MarkyP says, the chromers will need to do a proper polishing job on those; you might need to do a fair bit of the fiddly prep yourself.  Lots of wet and dry in the hard to get at places as the chromers are usually lax in those areas (as MarkyP found out).

looks like I'm gonna have a fair few busy nights then chaps, The frame has polished up ok,,, but after reading wot you have said I think i'll go and have another go at it also
