Advice on restoring a blue max

[Cameron1985]

Hello everyone I have just joined so go easy on me lol

I’m looking at restoring my bmx from when I was child. I’m looking to get my blue max looking new so I can pass it on to my son. Any advice before I start.

I was think first thing to do would be get it rechromed.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thank you for reading. Cameron

Hey Cameron,
Welcome to 
Plenty of folk on here wish they still had their childhood bike! I had to settle for a replica!
Whatever you want to do to the Blue Max all the resources are on here.I don't know where you are based but my mate is a chromer in Wembley. colonnademetal.com
Decals and stuff are easily available, just ask if you need more help

Let’s see some pics!

You may well find a bit of TLC will mean not having to rechrome

It’s just the frame I have so it’s probably going to be a expensive task but I would love to get it done for my boy. I will get the frame out and take some pictures now. Thank you for all your input

I can’t add pictures I’m unsure how to do it sorry. I tried twice

Have a look at the guide in the Welcome section, you can upload them straight from your phone / laptop / iPad
Only restriction is number / size of photos

Let’s see if this works

If anyone has a guide of how they would go about restoring this bike I would be very greatful.  I have never done anything like this before and don’t know where to start. Thank you everyone

Going off the pics that doesn't need a re-chrome... citric acid bath is all it needs mate... all the info you need is here.

What he said

Please don’t rechrome it!

Right I will buy some of that when I get out the bath and give it a go. I’m excited to get this bike how I remember it but scared as I don’t want to totally mess it up lol

Thank you everyone for the help.

Have anyone else seen if a blue max have been restored on here. I did try and have a look but as you can tell me and technology don’t go lol
