Of course you can chrome aluminium - it's metal isn't it? But it polishes so well, few bother (except die-cast.) Bog will never look
shiny, though - what kind of a part are you looking at?

Yes Alluminium can be chromed... just like plastic and die cast alloy as well.
Why would you want to polish one part and have BOG in the other ??
If you have die cast parts that are corroded... they can be re chromed here in Sydney but its expensive but a good job.
What part of a VW and year model are we talking about

Might be better off welding it up and dressing it back.

Ring some 4WD places and ask who does their bullbar repairs.
