WoW - Chroming is how much for the front mudguard????

(1/4) > >>

Hi,

popped into the local chroming place I have used before to get a price for chroming the front mudguard. They quoted me £400 and they even smiled as they said it. I did check it was chrome and not gold plated!

That's ridiculous, I can only assume they are pricing me out.

Looks like a repo one for me. Any good places to get one?

Nurse Julie:
Chroming prices are going through the roof Heath. I think it will be a lot worse in the near future when the new Regs come in that many can't afford, or be arsed, to comply with.

kevski:
It's an unpleasant game to be in, i was the chemist on a plating line and even with prices going up due to regs, health and safety, disposal of by products and associated waste it's still worth every penny.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
My chainguard re-chroming cost me £150 just before Christmas 2021 at the time of pricing he priced just under the cost of an aftermarket replacement after a haggle.

I assume now with the higher energy costs it will just get even more expensive.

Laverda Dave:
My chromer who I have used for 30+ years gas been forced to stop due to environmental issues. He only does zinc plating now.
