rechroming

[Tricky]

New to this Old School BMX restoration......

Can anyone advise on a good rechroming company in the N.E?

I have looked in the Yellow Pages and only one was listed..

Thankyou in Advance

Be very careful getting a frame & forks rechromed, I have yet to see a rechrome job that looks like the original chrome. I've asked a few companys in the North East to rechrome one of my frames and they all turned it down.

You could try Biagio @ www.vert-ego.com ,he did a canny job on a set of bars for me...

Cheers Bren,

Just cant find matching stickers

had this frame & forks done at hampshire electroplaters www.hepcoltd.co.uk really nice job and only cost £130 but i agree with bren you will never recreate original finish becausae of all the prep work they have to do to remove rust etc

forgot to say that a guy on the site posted his ta from scotland to them  and was really happy with results

[Tricky]

Cheers for that.
Do they do all the prep work too?
