GOOD F&F CHROMERS IN LONDON/SE

[mclarenj]

Guys

Anyone out there know of a good chromer that can do the biz on my DB SS F&F ? Also,any ideas what sort of bangers it's going to cost me ?

Needs to be in Kent/London/SE if possible....

Thanks for looking.

I contacted London Chroming on the Old Kent road, but they wanted £260  for a Gen 1

If you find a good one give me a shout, maybe they would do a deal for two

There is a place in Hounslow that will do f&f but can't remember their name at the moment, will post it up when I is sober    They are bloody good too if a little slow  .

That's the one I was going to suggest... I heard £400 for f&f... but I've been told it's the best out there.

Here you go, heard lots of good things about these guys but have not used them myself, think GMAC has though and he's pretty fussy as his builds are A1

I had some parts done by the London Chroming Co for my Mk2 Raleigh Chopper. The parts were very rusty so they stripped them of the existing coating, coated them in copper first then polished the copper to a mirror finish, then they did the nickel & chroming bit. It wasn't cheap, something like £400 for wheel rims, handlebars, mudguards, brakes and all the little bits and bobs (please don't tell the wife, even though it is HER bike!!!).
But..... when the parts arrived and I opened the box, I was like... yeah! That was worth the money! Top notch work, so damn perfect.
You can save money if you do the stripping and polishing bit or find someone cheap to do that bit, then maybe get London Choming to do the plating, or if your parts are good they may not need polishing before chroming.
London Chroming are most definitely not the cheapest, in fact they're probably the most expensive, but they are damn good at what they do. It works out cheaper getting all parts done at the same time, rather then taking bits to them as and when you can afford it. Only problem is that if you use them, your parts may well have a better finish than when they originally left the factory!
Good look with it

I personally think that £200 is enough for a F&F to be Chromed

I'll post some pics up of before and afters when I get my stuff back from the chromers in Manchester, recommended by 94performer

 S.H metal finishing, Unit 3 145 old lane (off ashton road) Openshaw, Manchester. 0161 371 1876 ask for Len

He has some bars, crank arms and f+f's at the moment.

Even with postage both ways I'm sure it is going to be cheaper than London Chroming charge for a f+f for the lot!!

The Chromers I use (and a few others) is based in the South West (not much help I know).  But as a price guide, my recent SE Quadangle Frame and Forks were £160 for plating, they do an amazing 1st class job, no blemishes or faults at all.

That looks very nice 

Where abouts in the South West are they ?

The chromers are Doug Taylors and they are based near to Weston-Super-Mare.

Not a big problem.  Just send the frame to me and I will take it down and send it back when finished. Unless it is a really nice frame as I will keep it for myself
