Being NEw to the site i am not sure if this has been asked i have searched thro many of the pages etc but not seen anything that answers my queries, and maybe this could be a good idea?
I have seen that most Chromers charge mostly for the time consuming poliching PRE plating process, whihc maybe is why it is quitre expenisve to chrome items?
I have also seem that Stripping old chrome also has to be done by a chrome plater (reverse palting process) but they are willing to do this for a small fee (£10 stated on some other posts about stripping chrome etc)
Has any one asked a chrome plater if they would strip the frame (assuming its bad chrome to start with) then return the frame for the owner to do his own polishing PRE plating, obviously u would need to ask the plater to what standard and also the would be the possibilty that your own polishing isnt up to required standard, but surely if u make a good effort at this, it will save the chromeplater some time and labour even if its not up to exact standard ?
maybe this would LOWER the price and the TIME or turnaround as i assuming that the majority of the time is the PRE plating polishing time spent, which is why the turnarounf time is sometimes longer than desired.
I ask this question as i have access to required equipment but have lots of items i would need plating so this would maybe cut down the costs to me if i did all the polishing etc.
if anyone has asked if this is possible i would be interested to knwowhat the answer was etc
thanks
