chrome plating

is there a chrome plating system you can buy or some type of plating thing. i want chrome, like on the parts tress, how they have the chrome parts and they are plated. can i buy something like that,or would it be best to buy alclad II

There are Chrome plating kits that you can get for plating small metal parts. The parts trees are chrome with a special process that can not be done cheaply, and easily. Best thing would be to use Alclad.

It's a special process that can't be done at home . . .

all you need that is special is the conductive basecoat..after you apply that you plate the part like any other metal part..it gets dipped in a tank. You can get triple chrome plating kits that come with the tank and everything..but your looking to spend around 5-600 bucks after it's said and done. and that is just for a 1 gallon setup, which is pretty small.

and chrometech is alright..but he does not handle the plating..he has a commercial plater which he just sends the parts on to. So if a part falls off your rack, tough shit. He is just a middle man to make money.

They don't have a website, but they are cheaper than chrometech and have about a 2 week turnaround time.Plus they do their own chrome in house.
