chroming

[stuartrobbie]

hi, i have a large black bull bar on the front of my motor, and a bar with the light covers. its the factory painted black at the moment, does anyonw know what it involved in turning this into shiney metal? the stainless steel/chrome look? and how much roughly

and finally, where can i get it done? bodyshop place?

it would be way cheeper to buy a chrome bar

The black ones are generally plastic coated and are crap metal underneath the plastic, even if you can find a chrommer to chrome it which I doubt you will, it wont be worth it.

the big ones werent available in the chrome when i got it. i dont think they are yet.

so its safe to say i have to get that idea out my head then?

i was looking at side bars but i thought it would look wierd with chrome bars and a black bullbar.

PLAN B

black side bars with checkerplate riveted on?any opinions...

away to draw up pictures now...

You could get the bull bar powder coated?

Yeah but they don't do powder coat chrome!

Go to a decent place and they'll do something like chromax, very shiney and very tough, and you can do cool fades aswell
