ALSO, can aluminium frames be taken to get chrome plated?

as i heard that the chrome doesn't stick

any ideas?

i wouldn,t get it chromed as it tends to flake off after a while due to oxidisation,heres pics of my ripper i polished a couple of years ago

That looks great

what would i have to do after i have stripped the paint off then?

Polish it and lacquer it?

Anyone know if SBD would simply clearcoat it?

its just polished,i wouldn't get it clear coated as it will only flake off

But if i dont clear coat the frame wont it go dull?
and would it rust?

I would leave it bare. You can always give it a quick polish if it goes a bit dull. I've got a Ripper as well and have carefully filed a few scuffs out of it.
