Sounds expensive.
Make sure they know you only need the panels polished. Polishing is a
substantial part of the expense.

Chroming for Ambo/Eldo tank with no dings - 450.00 each.. CS in TN -----Original Message----- From: Clifton L.

I've seen their work close-up (about five projects). The chrome is thick and deep. Museum quality to very good, but I've seen one job on Triumph pipes that looked rough. The pipes were deeply pitted prior and chrome looked lumpy post. Probably a prep issue. I don't know if CM did the prep. I think they do the chrome work for that Orange County Choppers group that's on the TV. Have they done an MG tank? I'll try to stop by this afternoon and ask them what they'll charge. Maybe they'll give us a group discount if we can put several tanks together.

Excellent work, prices ok. Their turn around times are decent. Also, I was reading somewhere, there is now available a chrome look powder coating finish, I have not seen it in person though.

The basic kits are similar to the price of chroming, but might be worthwhile if you plan to chrome many parts over the years. It's messy, and I don't know what kind of quality an amateur can achieve.

Thaty's why I'm trying to find one that isn't too expensive and does good work. A while back soemone mentioned that there was some powder coating that simulated chrome. Is that expensive too? Anyone try it? Any DIY chrome kits available? (doubtful) Thanks.
