if you mean the chrome the try the Bronze studio up parramatta way they can re chrome and have no pits

will cost you a bit though

Best Chrome plater ever was in Albury opposite the hospital.

There was a business "Chrome for Cruizin" that organised delivery to and from there and they were based in Girraween, this was some time ago, but I had them rechrome my Ghia Door Handles from rubbish to show finish.

You may be able to Google them down!

Cheers,

David

Thanks guys,
I have used Blue Chrome before and was happy with result but I wasn't sure if I needed to do something about the pitting before they are chromed?

I think u will find the necks or arms are die cast and will be full of pits which carnt be sand or buffed out

the process that Bronze studio uses is perfect for this type of material

It wil b exeee but worth it

Ring me if u want to discuss
