yer i will but i guess i cant today, my mum just told me that they do chroming here somewhere but i was told by a dude at a workshop that the closest was brissy, he was a sandblaster, and i wanted my 6 spoke mags chromed, but they just stayed white and now they are for sale with brand new tyres for 400.
merry xmas out, nate |

Strip the paint off with paint stipper or sand it all off.
Rub it with 320-600-1000-1500 wet papers.
Polish it up on a buffing wheel or with a cloth and some metal polish.
Give it a coat of clear lacquer and cut and polish that up.
Won't look exactly like chrome but should look ok. |
