What's so great about chromed parts?
When you polish your parts it requires upkeep in order to maintain that shine, by using correct compounds and very smooth grit sand paper. Also polished parts are very susceptible to scratches, and they require the entire part to be reworked to remove any defects.

However with chromed parts/wheels, it is MUCH more durable and keeping your parts clean is a cinch. Simply using Windex and a cotton cloth will keep your parts looking like the day they were freshly chromed.

Can you grind or weld my parts that I send in?
Please be sure to disassemble all pieces and remove any unchromable parts like plastic pieces or any sensor.

Please not that we are not responsible for shipping, processing damages due to parts comprised of dissimilar materials like aluminum and steel within a single part. We are unable to give refunds for chromed or polished parts as the work perform is unreversible.

How is chrome applied to the wheels/parts?
There are many ways the chrome plating process can be applied but it all depends on the type of substrate that is being plated on, there are several different etching solutions and brighteners that used for various types of metals. Acids are also widely used such as hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and sulfuric acids. These are very strong acids, which only should be used by experience professionals who are properly equipped for this process. We normally will prep the parts prior to plating and then it will enter the three dips in a plating vat which is electrically live and have a conforming anode made from lead, tin or titanium depending on the type of metal being plated. We special in processing for bright chrome which is often used as a decorative feature on consumer products such as car wheel and motorcycle parts. The vat will normally plate at 25 micrometers, which is thinner than a human hair.

What is black chrome and do you offer it?
We now offer black chrome through a special proprietary combination of bright chrome base coat and an electrostatically applied clear coat with increased durability. Email us for information, this process is slightly more costly due to twice as much required work and would take longer than our standard one week turnaround times.

I just got my parts back and there's a yellow drip mark on it?
That is remaining fluid from previous dips that may have come free, we always clean to a shine before sending them out but occasionally fluid may leak out during shipment. This can easily be cleaned with a cotton washcloth and Windex will easily remove this discoloration.

We offer powder coating services in a variety of shades and finishes.
From flat, matte, glossy, or chrome finishes we can also powdercoat your parts or wheels.
We offer any imaginable color that you'd like to have done.

Whats so great about powdercoating can't I just spray paint my parts?
Powder coatings is a type of dry coating, which is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin." The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as"whiteware" aluminum extrusions, and car and motorcycle parts.

Will chroming my engine bay make it heavier?
The amount of metal actually added only weighs a few ounces and is hardly a noticeable increase in weight even in the flashiest of engine bays with lots of chrome parts. We have yet to see even a one lb increase in weight when receiving parts that weigh over 50lbs worth of parts before and after chroming them.
