they left the frame out in the rain all week so now its proper rusty

TwoBobRob:
From what I've heard and seen,  it would appear you'd be better off sending your stuff to Vert-Ego so Biagio can send it on to his magic chromers....

Not cheap,  but top class I believe.

MartyC:
Anyone in West London, these guys are good.  They did my new school GT Cruiser Forks and Cranks and will be doing a few more bits for me soon.

They are a bit fiddly to find and their premises are a bit run down it's all the chemicals rotting everything  :LolLolLolLol:.

If anyone wants anything doing I can post photo's of their work and point you in the right direction  :daumenhoch:

Frosty:
I have used two different ones oop north. Castleford chromers and another one I can't remember. Cheap and good job on dodgy parts, but if you are after top job I would suggest preparing the item yourself before sending off.

I have just been following these threads to see if anyone else has good results at a reasonable price from other platers, so far seems inconclusive.
