I'm in Palmers Green/ Wood Green mate

Dave, will any chromers do this? Is it a chemical process? £15 seems reasonable.. how does that price compare to blasting? what is the downside of blasting?

Anyone know of any chromers in or near North London?  :LolLolLolLol:

Nearest I heard of in the chromers sticky is Hounslow. But I do venture over there every few weeks do do a radio show, on that exact road in fact

Cheers

if you take it to the chromers they reverse the process wich removes the chrome

if you have it shot blasted it will rip the hell out the frame to remove the chrome ,,,1st option is best,, imho
