Chrome plating

Does anyone know of a good chrome plating service? I want to get my windshield frame and speedometer rims plated, but I can't find any companies in my area!!

Ask the Harley Davidson guys. They replate everything. Mark

Hi everyone .. if you are after an option to chrome plating .. try fantachrome .. its actually a paint on system that can coat anything . If you had dents in your bumper bar for example , just use body filler to fill them , smooth off and fantacrome the whole thing !

That's what I did! I found a guy who machines custom rims at home as a business. I asked where he goes for chroming...

I also am going with a bunch of other people as a group discount. The shop will give you the 30% discount if you can get enough volume.

The Fantachrome sounds like a nice idea to compare the cost. You have doit yourself of course.

I contacted the Australian distributor (in Perth) they are in the process of setting up some suppliers in Sydney now .. They said they will e-mail me when they have a list of active outlets . As this is a 4 stage industrial process (not a single spray can) I guess it takes some time to set up end suppliers .. it is also new to Australia http://www.fantachrome.com.au/

If anyone is interested in electroplating anything, I found a company that sells kits and supplies. Gold, silver, chrome...if it has anything to do with plating, they have it. Unfotunately, it seems too expensive to electroplate anything very large. I think they still offer a free catalog. http://www.caswellplating.com
