sounds like some of you got ripped off. you paid for a show chrome finish and got your bike just chromed. We do 2 different types through work, industial chrome(just chrome and nowt else) and (if you wnat to call it that) show chrome, layer of copper, a lot of nickel and then a little chrome, one is very expensive but looks the nads when done, the other can be perfect but usually has a bit that is uneven and rough. One time somebody sent some motorbike parts do be chromed, they dissapeared, so i would never have used them. But we did loads of stuff through them, table legs, wire frames and loads of other shop fittings. Show chrome is what it is and that is how you should get it back and that price includes prep work. Stick to the recommended ones, worth it in the end.
