As above, i need a good chromer.. Have been using Rs Chrome.
They are ok but the poster cost is huge, as it is time delay on them..

Who else is there that still does chroming?

Cheers

My Dad has a nickle tank for plating this sort of thing -

Once the item has been prepared properly, then dipped, it can be polished with a finishing polish like Autosol Shine. He never bothers with this stage on old bike/car parts as they wouldn't have left the factory like it!!
