not good bro.my chromer /well polisher spends 95% of the time on the polishing dressing
and the chrome is the easy part then hours of re polishing .that looks a lazy job.

lazychubs · « **Reply #3 on:** November 18, 2006, 10:05 AM »

its prob cos he under quoted me on the job
so rushed it thru 4 weeks
may powder coat it now as proper peed off with it
and cost me £80 quid with two rims bieng stripped aswell

Rhys - take the frame back and see if it'll fit up his a r s e.

Can you not get his to re-do it?

I agree right up

lazychubs · « **Reply #7 on:** November 18, 2006, 10:18 AM »

he said they cant polish it in the areas
so gotta live with it or powder it
may try and polish it and put a clear coat over it
or just use it as a thrasher

rakas17 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 18, 2006, 12:06 PM »

tell him you want a refund, thats a proper piss take. those areas are are hard to polish but you could do it yourself. i'd tell him to strip it then give back to you to do all the prep work then give it back to him and tell him you want him to copper plate it first. my mate who did my gen 1 did this cos it was really pitted and rusty, i did a few evenings rubbing and stuff then he coppered it and chromed it and now it looks perfect.
you shouldn't let him get away with that just cos he thinks it's a kids bike. if you took your car to a paint shop and got it back like that you wouldn't stand for it would you...

good luck, joe

That's not good Rhys

I'd return it too and get that numpty to srtip the new chrome . . . would be a shame to powder it

no this place is in benfleet
prob is most of the work ive seen is top notch
fink he was a tad peed of with me for some reason
gonna take it back mon

selfpreservation · « **Reply #15 on:** November 19, 2006, 01:14 AM »

thats a bollocks rouge traders springs to mind but £80 is way too little for a decent chrome job , it is normally expensive cause of the man hours involved in the prep and finishing the geeser i use would never have let me take it away in that state , i could do better with a set of silver markers

lazychubs · « **Reply #16 on:** November 19, 2006, 05:39 PM »

deffo having a row tomorow now as its going rusty already lol
so goes to show his work is shite .gonna get me money back and have it stripped

Lazychubs,

You sure that's a Senior Pro?

Anyway, the Chrome looks, erm, different to say the least.

jT Racing · « **Reply #19 on:** December 01, 2006, 10:17 PM »

wnaker, just go back and dip him in his own chroming bath by his jewels. the method is easy. copper strike(so the nickel will stick), nickel for rust proofing(ish) and smoothing, chrome for a nice hard shiny finish. get your money back. trading standards should help you.

lazychubs · « **Reply #20 on:** December 01, 2006, 10:25 PM »

im in the proces of reporting him to trading standards
and couldnt get money back as the owners wasnt there
sparky lol.the black is very shiny at the mo but gonna give it a good polish soon lol
