GT Powersries cranks makeover!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Wayne Ryder:
Oh, I thought you anodised the alloy with copper, then plated that!
My ignorance on metallurgy knows no bounds.

SaMAlex:
you CAN chrome ally, but its a bit of a pain, and you cant chrome all kinds. You do have to put down copper fisrt (or maybe other things can be used too) but I think you plate it, then plate again with chrome

Chrome rims often show the copper plating when they flake

Wayne Ryder:
So am I dumb or not? :2funny:

SaMAlex:
I just bought some chrome wheels off General Lee. Did he think the hubs and rims were steel?  :idiot2: :LolLolLolLol:

generallee:
oh yeah...
forgot about wheels. Its late [ish] in the evening ok and ive had a beer!
sorry.
