Powdering on chrome

(1/3) > >>

childhooddream:
Probably been asked a hundred times but can you successfully powdercoat straight onto a chrome frame forks or does  the chrome have to be stripped first?

I had a GT Pro last year, the chrome was ok, but peeling in places. I spoke to SBD and he told me that he could powder over the chrome, but as it was peeling, there was a chance that this may continue, and peel off the powder, so he recommended that I strip the chrome, which I did.  :daumenhoch:

I sent it to Niphos in Crewe, the did it for £60, then Dan did the absolute business on it.

I was a bit unsure about paying that much to strip it, but Dan reassured me by telling me that's what sort of price the guy he used to use charged.  :daumenhoch:

£60 isn't bad ive been quoted over £100 locally.

Do you know if Dan would accept and use his contact?

Just didn't really want to send to some to get stripped then back to me then onto dan.
