Title: chrome plating
Post by: marc_wants2ride on February 06, 2008, 05:57 PM: just wondered what sort of price im looking at for a frame, and/or forks..?
i know a powder coater does a frame for £30 near me, but would rather have chrome (if i can afford it!!)

cheers

They may claim that there polisher cannot get into tight areas (ooh err) so its worth trying to polish up areas lke the dropouts, gusset etc your self. I normally pay Â£150 inc prep and plating , sorry for the longwinded reply ;D:daumenhoch:
