    Hello. I want to make a transaction regarding my motorcycle. However, I cannot tell whether the coating is chrome or nickel plated. Decorative chrome plating may also be under nickel plating. Should I prepare a separate solution for both or is there a solution that removes both at the same time? Finally, do I need to do chrome plating over nickel plating to get a very shiny appearance? Because I also want it to be durable.

    Alan that was truly an epic job involving the sciences of physics and chemistry to restore a very large and decrepit part. Combined with that the skilled metal working processes which would be classed as mechanical engineering. As with all metal working, things happen quickly/dynamically, whether it be a hammer blow, grinding it, machining it or welding it etc. All of it takes great skill. It is all very clever stuff , and educational, that you show us. I want to thank you for sharing this content. I must also say that the standard of your filming, editing and production content is of a very high standard which I find not only informative but enjoyable to watch. A fantastic result all round. No wonder that your client was thrilled, I would be too. Thank you , Damon Ross from Melbourne.

You are certainly carrying on the tradition in fine form, verily elevating the form and pushing the quality to higher levels. I love the fact that you are pursuing quality in your work, it is outstanding, it shows you care. Sadly these days it seems less and less people care about much beyond their personal gratification. I see the quality of chrome work on Rolls Royce/Bentley cars new and old and it is something to behold. Even the quality of chrome on original Lucas parts , which was exceptional, seemingly cannot be replicated. Your work meets those standards. Kudos to you Sir.

    Great video! I've noticed that sometimes on rechromed bumpers, although they are nice and shiny etc, there is a certain 'wavyness' to the reflection when you look at the reflection of say a corrugated (patterned)roof above. Almost like the thicknes of the copper/chrome varies slightly across the surface & makes the reflection a bit 'hall of mirrors'. Have you ever seen that, & know what causes it?

    • @ChromeandCarRestoration
      @ChromeandCarRestoration 16 днів тому

      Caused by rippled surface. Can be through uneven polishing. Also a lot of bumpers etc had ripples in the pressings from new. Our re-chroming is more reflective than new so it shows up any defects..
