Re-chroming

Post by Beejyman »

I have a little scratch on the underside of my exhast after a small spill in holland in the summer?? Not really that noticeable but it's annying me.

I was hoping to get it all shiny and chrome again, with out replacing it?? Can this bedone at home or does anyone know a contact who does this sort of thing??

Give Nick a ring at Griffs in Bristol 0117 904 2339 and he'll sort out rechroming, although most chromers will not like doing used pipes as they're full of carbon uild up that contaminates the chroming tanks.

all or nothing :wink:


If the scratch is not in a generally visible area, you may be better getting some silver paint ..... or may be even a little "Galvafroid" paint
