Castle Chroming ... have stand at STAFFORD
« on: October 19, 2014, 09:44:53 AM »
These people were at Stafford on Saturday and had rechromed parts on display that looked really nice. Was talking to I fellow CB250 resto guy and he said he had used them and another guy I know looked at the parts and said they looked good, if a little bit 'blingy'.

The person on the stand quoted me 80 GBP for a rim, which sounded OK to me.

Saw this on their website, so they obviously do exhaust too:

We must also point out that when sending exhausts could you please clean them out, as the carbon can block our filters. You can clean your exhausts by putting a rubber bung either end and filling with petrol or thinners. You should then shake it daily for a week to remove all the carbon inside. Then just jet wash it out and we will do the rest. We also ask you to remove any paint that is on any of your items.

Cheers ... Ash

£80 for a rim sounds good, i was quoted, in Kent ,£100 to polish plus stripping and plating.

Probably +VAT though to be fair
