First batch of parts back...

[Roo]

I have a good friend that dips chrome. I am taking some parts in soon to see how they come out. He does it for a job, so they should be nice. And CHEAP. LOL

chrome and cheap don't go together! heh

post up some pics for sure.

hey Roo, when you get your ski put together, you should send them pics of it so they can throw them up on their "cool stuff" page. :biggrin:

will chrome adhere to aluminum? how much weight is it going to add?

I think they copper coat it first so the chrome will stick. General rule of thumb used to be you can't chrome aluminum, or anodize steel, but they're always figuring out ways around things nowadays.

Im with you Roo, everything looks better when all you have to do is take a damp cloth to it to clean the parts.
I did my pipe and manifold last year.

Glad someone understands :wave: haha

I completely understand. one of my b-pipes is new, the other is already powder coated...or I'd have done the same thing.

I've posted mine a bunch of times, but here it is again. Going on two years since I got it done and still looks good. Doesn't have the luster of when I first got it done, but still looks great.

Pic of when I got it back from the coating place. Ceramic coating, color is called stainless steel.

they have been chroming aluminum for years (think wheels)... copper first with a couple rounds of nickel plating for the best finish.

Yeh looks the goods but comes with a hefty price tag...
