Copy Chrome Kit.
« on: November 06, 2011, 11:48:19 AM »
Hi Guys,

Came across this site on the web Caswell Copy Chrome and was wondering if anyone has any experience of using it and what were the results.

Cheers Jock. ::)

Jock, it looks OK, but remember anything brought in from the US of A attracts the attention of HMCE who charge you import duty on the whole thing, even the bloody postage!

Unless you're going to be doing a lot of chroming it will probably be cheaper to send it to these guys: http://www.ashfordchroming.com/get-chroming-prices I've used them a couple of times and they do a good job.
