Chroming

[philward]

Hi all
Just a bit of feedback on some chroming I've had done by a company in my area (Northwest). I had CB750k2 rear mudguard chromed by RS chrome in Manchester (http://www.rschrome.co.uk) and have just got it back.  Outer chroming is excellent but surface rust still evident underneath/in recess between mounting flange and mudguard/wiring clips. Cost £65 plus vat and insured delivery. (about £110 ish total). 3 week turnaround.
Mudguard was generally good but with lots of minor pitting to outer visible chrome and surface rust in area's mentioned above.
I didn't clean surface rust off as I assumed they would derust whole mudguard and didn't want to mess up their process.
Moral of story I suppose is ask what prep they need before sending.  Overall though good price, service and chrome on visible chrome area
Just thought feedback would be valuable for other members
