A Beautiful piece of chrome plating

<< < (4/5) > >>

Moose:
When I had a hutch stem re-chromed recently, I was there for the whole process. The first time the chrome flaked off due to how 'pure' the alloy was (his words not mine), so he had to heat-treat it prior to rechroming.

If it fails the first time around and flakes off they have to re-polish, this is where it lost a tiny detail of the stamp.

frdavid:
you're right i think they didn't polish enough that's why the chrome was bad, but now it's very hard to remove about 20 hours that i'm trying lol  75% of the job is done, handly with sand paper grade 180 to 1200 and after polish solution
