Chrome my ends?

Posted on
  • Can't decide... is it worth £84 + VAT to add chromed ends to my renovation? And if I'm gonna do that (and wait the extra time it takes) should I go for six inches instead? Whaddya think?

  • Is that at a bike specific place?
    I got a whole bike chromed for 200 AUD (100 quid) at a car place in melbourne.
    Maybe try a place that does bigger things and it might cost less.

    Also you could ask if you could get the price down by prepping (stripping and polishing, oo err) yourself.

  • Cheers Joel good idea. No more innuendos though please.

  • Isn't there a way of getting like Ray Mears and doing it yourself?

    Car Battery and all that jazz??

  • Not much fun. Have to strip first using Hydrochloric acid, then a heated bath full of melted chrome and acid combined and immerse for 8 minutes or so while wired to positive and negative electrodes. Messy and dangerous chemicals.

  • Might be worth mentioning that chroming causes lots of nasty bi-products.
    Check if the guys doing have green ethics first.
