|  true chrome plated parts
chrome plated parts - what do you thing, does it make any sense for big scale trucks? This is the first approach, chrome plated foglights (aluminum body):  the surface quality is very good but thread do not match after plating because chrome coating added some thickness. |

Looks great  I use to polish parts for a local bike shop. They did chrome plating there. On parts that were threaded they would put screws in them so it didn't get plated on the threads. I would do that and you won't have the prob of them not fitting after words.Did you plate them? What process did you use? |

 the part size is just 1in (25mm) in diameter. It's quite small. this is an industrial electroplating done at a specialized factory and nicely described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_plating. It's too toxic to do this in the lab, don't try at home  | |

i use to do a lot of chrome plating for harley davidson it was hell gettin the machine setup to plate the parts right and it would prob. be more trouble then its worth doin it on a small scale in a garage.
