(1/2) > >>

generallee:
Ive seen some lovely restos on here that were once chrome frames that have ended up painted/powdercoated... id like to do the same - but how do you get the chrome off? ANy help please!!

phantom photon:
You don't have to remove the chrome. If you get it powdered the company you use will be able prep the surface prior to coating. Same applies for painting just a quick rub down to prime the surface :daumenhoch:

generallee:
have wet n dryed and sandpapered the chrome down to be as flat as poss - taking it to the powdercoaters tomorrow - think itll work?

brass monkey!:
get em to do a candy coat on top of the chrome, I think this is the technique Hutch used for their original fook oops on chrome frames !? hence a load of candy coated Hutch's !

that's if ya want candy !

otherwise its a good rub down  ;)

harris:
