BigRed350x Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 yea i heard that they can chrome alumin now but i havent seen how well it comes out... you seen any yet? The stuf he had on hand last time I was there looked just like anything else that comes out of the final wash. I wouldn't tell the difference between the aluminum rod and the steel rod he handed me until I felt the weight difference. I'm thinking about just saving up my $$ and getting all my aluminum parts chromed next time I go just so I don't have to continually polish them to keep them looking good. The chrome seems to hold up a little better to the sand blasting my toys see all year long. Yeah, the chrome takes some maintenance to keep lookin' blingy, but not as much as aluminum. We will see how it goes next trip I make out there to SLC. - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CadillacBanshee Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 A 20 sack of meth and you'll be able to polish your frame and plastics while you're at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animalman294 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I vote for the chroming, because as much work as its going to be you could chrome them and they will look much nicer and you never have to worry about rust. If you polish them down to bare metal they will rust and the clear coat paint will wear off where you have your boots and any other rubbed places........ :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
