There's nothing more satisfying than seeing skilled people at their craft and making old things new again!

When they ask…. “Why does it cost so much…. I just need it re-chromed”
Just show them this video. And yeah, really beautiful work by some very skilled craftsmen.

LOL! I was thinking of chrome plating something at home and then I watched this video and said nevermind.

The copper finish looks so much better then the chrome finish imo. Awesome video!

I used to do this back in the day, mostly the over riders, our best jobs to do were for Triumph Heralds riders,

Hi. Nice video! I was just wondering; the doors to your chroming vat are green. Does this mean you use trivalent chromium soltution rather than the extremely hazardous hexavalent chromic acid?

Is there any way to reduce the hydrogen gas buildup when plating chorme its bloody crazy how many explosions I've been through

[sixtyfiveford]

When people ask my favorite color, I always respond "Chrome".

[ivans]

Is there any kind of filler to repair a dent which cant be repaired in other way before chrome plating? Some brazing ?

[closedclosed]

would be great if they explained the process!!

[xufeichem]

Do you need a smoke suppressor for chrome solution?

What would it cost to get a Harley frame cocktail chrome
