Any suggestions an where I can get rechroming done in the Northeast. I am in upstate NY -- Binghamton to be exact. I understand there is a place in Tennessee? Is that the closest? I have heard it is

Has anyone had any experience rechroming a luggage rack for a B? About what should I expect to spend? Would it make more sense to just buy a new one? The lid I have now is pitted -- wouldn't look too

I have not recrhromed anything, but I am also considering it. One thing you might want to do is check your local classifieds for a chromer. I saw one a while a back for about $300 with all of the goo

I'd suggest you take it to one or two local places & get quotes - then check out the prices in a few catalogs. If you can't find any local shops - get a copy of Hemmings and look up chrome plating un

Well, all it is is a simple luggage rack, so it doesn't come apart, and I think it was chromed from the factory. It came off a 69(?) B -- I'm pretty sure it's a factory rack... and Moss only sells a

Depends a lot on the quality of the job that you want. Much of the cost is in the preparation, which would include clearing up the pits. The more prep, the more cost. Good work also includes layers o

Hi all, When this thread was alive a few years ago I posted the following comment. I think it still applies: The quality of chrome available from Moss, et al. is pathetic. When I redid my MGA I used

I have to rush to Moss's defense on this one....... The reason for the poor quality chrome is very simple: competition. If you've noticed, there are a few people on this list who occasionally complai

I agree. I have not experienced this, but what can you expect for a bumper which costs Hfl 150 (thats around $75) in the Netherlands. A normal chroming procedure is first putting a layer of copper o

I'd second that. Polished ally really looks the part on a sports car: more subtle than chrome. If you're lots of patience you could do it with Brasso wadding polish. Yes, I know it's made for brass,

Do it yourself. If you have a bench grinder you can buy cotton wheels and polish at most hardware stores. You don't really need one of those huge buffing machines unless you are doing a lot of buffi
