chrome

[hotrodholty]

im thinking of getting some parts chromed, manifold, 1/4 bumpers ect.

is there anywhere in the north west that does it?

also any idea what kind of price as iv heard rumours of it being about £5.00 a square inch

which on a manifold would be over £100

chrome plating a manifold would be expensive an di doubt it would last too long with all the heating and cooling i reckon it could creack for the manifold what you want is the ceramachrome coating camcoat do it and im sure ive seen people on this site reccomending them

 

heres a link to their prices

nice one mate. ill give em a bell as its only up the road in warrington

as for the chrome manifold iv seen bike exhaust's chromed and they seem to be alright

Definitely cermakrome for the manifold, remember bike exhausts get a lot more cooling than car ones. Cermakrome greatly reduces under bonnet temperatures too

 

Here's a pic of my cermakromed manifold for an idea of what they come back like. It was expensive though, including carriage this was £226

 

 

 

As to the 1/4 bumpers, are you aware you can get repro polished stainless ones for under £100? They look as good as the originals and it's a lot cheaper than a rechrome. HArrington have a shop on ebay but I can't find it just now.
