This may be a new service that i can offer, i've just found a chrome platers near to me
who's in the process of stripping one of my customers frames, his price is £30 for the frame
and £40 with forks, now i dont know if thats cheap or expensive but it does allow me to
take the whole job on when the chromes shot, this service is only taken on prior to me
painting the finished job :daumenhoch: i'll keep you updated on how he gets on ;)
-
that's what I paid for my Redline to be striped
Before I sent it to you mate ;)
Think it was a minimum price
-
That's not bad, i had a F+F set de-chromed for Dan to repaint, that cost £50 at my local chromers
-
Would this method allow for any markings that wanted to be kept on crank arms etc to be untouched?

Strip and pickle, you keep all the stamping ready for re-chrome. (talk to butts dale)

that's good news then he doesnt sound expensive, i'm collecting the frame tomorrow and
hopefully he's done a good job, i asked him how much to chrome plate a frame ???
dont think i'll be using him for this though ;D

min charge at our local platers is £70 :shocked:
-
i picked up the frame today and i have to say he'd done exactley what i
was after, chrome removed and nice clean steel left to work on :)

i had a gen 1 stripped ready for rechrome, cost me score, for frame and forks, but since then every time ive rung the bloke to do another hes knocked me back...lol...he must have fooked up on his first price, either that or couldnt stand how much i pestered the fook out of him....
