chrome plating
haynes66:
there are probably quite a few recommendations for chromers but the one i use is TK plating shrewsbury. the only thing is, they chrome what you send. if you send a part with some rust on, they will plate over it. i always buff my own parts anyway so this isnt a problem for me. quick postal service and the plating is good quality.

If they chrome over rust they want flogging :o
Nearer heard anything like it.

I had a similar experience with RS Electro-plating in Manchester the first time I used them - left surface rust on so they could prep to their required preparation prior to chroming. Learned the 2nd time and removed all traces of rust

I have never had to prep anything with the chrome plating companies I have used.
The first stage of Chroming is the acid bath to remove all the rust etc. After that copper plating and further plating processes before polishing and finally the chrome.
Try prestige plating in mexbrough nr Rotherham go in rusty come out immaculate.
