hockley chroming
pickle:
Chroming 20/30 year old shyte takes time, it's not like powder coating........it's a Fooking shyte job to do and I'm sure they have other stuff to do.
Can't expect things turned round in a week or two, I would estimate a few months at least ???

as pickle said its not an easy job.
There is a slow dip to remove the chrome and a fast way, depends how much you want to pay. Then all the pre polishing. When I had mine done I just said time is not an issue I just want it to look like new, 8 weeks later and you can see the results with my Kuwi.

I think the time thing is a perfect example of BMX building in general lately, people are in way too much of a rush. Some things take time and some of you guys really need to learn some patience when building bikes.
I had some chrome removed from a set of bars recently and it took 4 weeks, did I shout and moan, of course I didn't this is how things go sometimes.
I have seen so many times on this and other sites, some nice frames with some absolutely laughable and shit parts just because everybody is in a rush to get stuff built.

I agree Sean, the worst thing you can do is purchase "that'll do" components in order to precipitate a build.
My own personal issues are not concerned with the duration but the results.
