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.
