Re chroming alloy wheels

<< < (3/3)

KevT:
I had no luck with any of the recommended businesses so I have ordered a replacement wheel.
Thanks again for your help.
 

Vettech:
Kev. My small knowledge of plating from too long ago is that Alli alloys are hard to plate and requires special gear and may be why most platers will do copper, nickel, tin, chome and types if zinc. Now days platers have a plethora of safety and OHS rules and environmental rules hanging over them, so I'm not surprized you cant find someone.

KevT:
The person in Adelaide said he  "didn't have the correct jigging to do that design"  so my oniy option was to replace rather than repair.

The Minister for Finance will be hoping it doesn't make the other 3 wheels look bad ..... therefore requiring replacement as well !
