What polish and laquer for bare metal?

Hi,

I'm also thinking of stripping my frame and am all for the nice'n'shiney look. where is it possible to get a frame chromed?

it costs alot and it's hard to find someone with a big enough bath to dip the whole frame.

True. We had a frame (Dursley pederson anyone?) Nickel plated for a customer. Took it to our powder-coaters to have it stripped in their tank. Ben forgets, blasts it. WE (IE my colleague Tony) spend 3 days rubbing it back with different grade emry, eventually got it plated, cost a fair amout, over 200 beans, but it is possible if you feel the perversion.

I am lusting after a chrome lugged 1920's style road frame, with rusty tubes a 3spd hub, semi-dropped bars and possibly even a 'tash..

Clearcoat powdercoat sounds pimp though.
