getting a f/forks chromed..........whats the cost?

[Chromo Buzz]

Hi all,

I am looking to get my dayglo orange Master f/forks stripped & then chromed. What would be a rough price to have the powder removed, polished & then chromed?

Cheers, Buz

about £150-200, athough if the framset was originally paint/powder it will mean loads of prep polishing the tubes prior to chroming so could cost waaaaaaaaaay more.pick a decent chromer too,i recommend Allens in pocklington nr york,they actually give a toss,too many chromers dont

Cheers for the quick response Markyp ,  i did wonder as the bike has never been chromed that it would probably cost more. So i'm guessing my best bet would be to lose the powder 1st & go through the grades of polishing myself to keep the cost down.

What would be the best way to strip the powder?

Cheers,  Buz

Best way 2 strip powder is a blow torch and a wire brush  Give ACF Howell chrome in Walsall a bell ask 4 Mark tell him I told u 2 call and talk it all through with him . Their prices r very good and they really show a good attention 2 detail . Pm me if u need more info  Oh they r on the industrial fortnight at mo so give it a week eh

Cheers Animal for the advice re: removal of powder coat The blow torch seems a bit harsh though . I know fook all about paint processes, is there nothing similar to nitromors that will brake it down?

Only asking as i don't own a blow torch

P.S.  Will defo give them a call in a wk or so

There are a few posts about removing powder coat with gasket remover:
