Was just wondering if anyone knows of a decent re-chromer?

Thanks,

Joel

Pro Plating and polishing in Decatur Ga. Ask for Garry(owner). He does good work but is no magician. The parts have to be reasonable to begin with. Junk in junk out.

www.2wheelconnection.com if you want to see any of the work he has done for me.

Tell him JR sent you.

Thanks JR,

I'll call him tomorrow. All my parts are pretty good already, I just want them better :) Very few scratches, hardly any rust at all. Some flaking and a couple of stains is all.

Well Thanks again,

Joel

Rim replating

Post by eyedragaknee » Mon Feb 02, 2009 9:36 pm

I just got these back from Garry today. IMO, I thought he would send them back to me and not want to plate them. They were shit and the edges had dings from tire changes.

THEY CAME BACK FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!

I talked to someone at the chrome shop today (Garry was busy) really good prices. Think I might end up using them. There's one more place local that got recommended that I'm going to check out but being L.A. I assume its going to be cheaper to ship it to GA and have them do it.
Thanks again,
Joel

@eyedragaknee

Those rims look amazing. What'd those run you if you don't mind me asking?
