Need to get it dunked properly fella to strip it totally or if your painting, sand back and then powder over the top
If you have been quoted £35 for strip and re-chrome on a set of forks, then I would say that's well cheap mate.Can't see you getting it done for less than that

May think again about it now.

May think again about it now.Yeah thats the place it's just round the corner from where i work so i thought it would be handy BUT way to dear and way to longer wait, i could find places on the net and even including the p&p cost and time i could get it done cheaper and faster.
I've also used RJC - they took a full 2 months longer than they said they would and polished out the frame number, and all the details on my Haro Sport frame (including the chevrons on the gusset), so be very careful with these guys.If you do use them, be prepared to wait way longer than you expect and be very clear with them about what you want.Good luck!
RCJ are fine, i've had lots done with them but make sure you ring up every few days and chase and make sure you visit, keep an eye on the workmanship and all is cool, i've had bars, forks, pegs, cranks etc.. all sorts done and all ok. Sometimes best to get the chrome stripped off and you polish and hand to them to dip in the chrome, all good then
