New to this Old School BMX restoration......
Can anyone advise on a good rechroming company in the N.E?

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 @

,he did a canny job on a set of bars for me...

had this frame & forks done at hampshire electroplaters

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
