Try superb electro plating on clarence steet ,factory is just between princess street and blenheim road, I would say about $50 max

midosa, Jan 23, 4:54pm
will do

lookoutas, Jan 23, 5:41pm
That's about right. $350 must have been a small one.

They cite the hi price of power.I paid $100 just to have wheels de chromed .

apparently a guy in Gizzy 'paints' them as chrome lookalike for bugga all, and it looks the part and lasts for yonks (haven't tried it myself tho) :)

If you don't mind my slight hijack poster one. What should I do to prep items for chroming!

zak410, Jan 24, 3:13pm
#12 probably not much as electroplaters often polish the items first anyway.

midosa, Jan 24, 3:34pm
Thanks richynuts
$60 I was charged, pick it up in 2 weeks and they do all the prep work.
Very happy with that deal.
They were really busy but when i pick it up I wouldn't mind a look around the shop to see how it all works.
I was surprised that none of them wore masks or any protective gear.

richynuts, Jan 24, 3:54pm
yeah everytime I go in there the guys look like death warmed up,I would hate to work in a place like that, if you are a regular customer they really do look after you. $60 sounds pretty good all the same. Don't know about been shown around as there could be an OSH issue!

Yes I heard that, I think they do plastic chrome also but not sure. maybe someone knows!
