Stidds,

Who did you get to do yours, assuming it was restored?

Ohh and what dollar are we looking at?

Cheers

Did it myself Paul, the chrome was in superb condition, so I went to a local auto spray manufacturer and told them what I wanted.  They made up a tinted clearcoat and I applied it in very light coats until I had the correct shade, I then applied standard clear lacquer to seal it.

I applied 8 light coats in all and it cost me about £30 for the tinted clearcoat and about £10 for the standard lacquer.

Looks like the ideal solution to me

The Pro Class will be stripped to see how good the chrome is beneath. Hopefully it'll be good enough to polish up and lacquer

If not . . . I'd like to see pics of the parts you had done in black chrome if that's still OK with you Guy  ;)

Cheers

Pipes and grabrail on this Steve, but like I said, you can't really see the depth unless you're up close and personal  :daumenhoch:
