Tim,
In my experience, the cost of having an item re-chromed is usually more
expensive than buying a new piece. The piece has to be stripped and prepped
before the chroming process. Unless the part is rare, or no longer made, or you
have a brother in law with a chrome shop, you are probably better off just
replacing the part. Especially something like a crash bar (unless it is the
hard to find Police model).
Cheers,
Dave

Can for instance, a front crash bar that is pitted, be too bad to have re-chromed, or during the process is all the old chrome taken off? Also, in looking to have parts re-chromed, are there differences in the process from one place to another that would result in better finishes? I have briefly heard of two and three step processes, but not sure of the real difference. Tim |
