Hi Most chromers strip all the old chrome etc off as part of the process,  ;) cheers Mick.

Looking at local chromers in Derbyshire last week and Derby Platers meant to be good if pricey!

Yes Steve

Interested to see end results as I am going to need some bits done at some point.

The nearest place for chroming from me is about fifteen miles away,they do a good job,but the turn round time
is so slow.
steven 400/4,the chromers you use in walsall,do you have their name and address?what sort of turnaround time
do they have?and what are their prices like?many thanks s h.
