Exhaust Chrome Plating

Post by big-b » Wed Oct 29, 2014 12:04 pm

Can someone recommend a chrome plater that will do my 67 scrambler exhaust. I've had a couple tell me they won't do it because the carbon will contaminate their dip tanks.

I'd like to find someone in New England but I'd be interested in other locations as well.

Thanks,

I can only help you with "Ye Olde England". :-)

The people I use at Prestige Electroplating are happy to re-chrome rims, exhausts and mufflers....

Thanks but i dont think it will be cost effective for me to ship overseas. Stuff look great though.

Have you tried Ronnie Brown / Brown's Plating?

Brown's quoted me $65 per foot for each pipe, I know they do great work but I'm not sure i can put that much money into the exhaust alone on this bike.
