Title: Chrome Plating
Post by: Mr Nice on March 18, 2008, 08:38 AM

How much should I expect to pay to have frame & forks done?

Anyone know a good place to get it done in Essex?

i would hazard a guess at anything around the £200 mark for a reet good job, you can get it done cheaper but it won't be as good i bet!

I bought American Classic magazine and they list a few chromers of which i haven't heard of before. I imagine they do an awesome job, i'll post details up later. Might be worth giving them a call.
