Chrome plating

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Wondering about plating of some frog parts. Mainly the chassis.

I've noticed a few plated chassis' in peoples showrooms, whats the story?

Any one in Australia dealt with this?

Thanks.

Hi, you need to have the original part copper plated first then chrome plate ontop, as the chrome will adere to the copper but not the plastic.

Yeah, until you hit a rock or make a jump & the chassis flexes...

...Then, you'll have chrome corn-flakes for breakfast[:D][:D][:D]

Seriously, don't do it my friend: Looks great when new, horrible after a few uses!!!

Hi

Some years ago, a friend of mine working in a perfume plastic bottles industry and plated me some rims and roll bars. The result was perfect and durable.
