Chrome plating.

<< < (2/2)

Laverda Dave:
I did look into chemical blacking Peter but apparently it does have a poor resistance to corrosion if parts are exposed to water, grime and genersal road use so I discounted it.
The Frost solution looks feasible as long as it contains the chemicals of old, sadly a lot don't these days, yellow passivate now being one of them.
I first treated the bzp'd nuts and bolts with the sharpie pen about a month ago and gave everything four coats over a period of two weeks so far its all held up but of course nothing is yet fitted to the bike!
I'll give an update after a bit of road use.

Laverda Dave:
I took the exhaust heat sheild of the NC30 into Ashford Plating (I previoulsy had the chrome stripped off as I was going to have a cerakote finish applied). Ashford Platers gave me a price of £110 but I negotiated that down to £95, still expensive but the quality of their work reflects the price.
