re-chroming

[nas80]

the powder coat is a miles thicker coating dude - it can hide roughness a fair bit better . im not sure how smooth the blasting process would gets the surface tbh

Blasting leaves a pretty rough finish. powder coating will cover it but chroming will need to have all the pitting polished out.

Walloth & Nesch are asking £185 for the rear centre section & £165 for the right rear quarter (the left isn't currently listed). That would make it £515 for the complete bumper (+ rubbing strip).

Hazlenut shells are pretty good and not doing damage when used in blasting.

Nas, you should know the saying
"Do it cheap, do it twice"

I have seen some work done by a company in B'ham, and it is fooking SHOCKING!

[nas80]

that's pretty much I'm afraid of. id have to visit the platers and see examples esp if they charge good money!

Nas, I was advised by several of the local classic clubs to go to Cleveland Chrome but they no longer do car stuff. They used to sub-contract jobs to these guys so they should be able to do a good job. I was advised that a bumper corner would be in the region of £75 but remember, you can't polish a turd so the metal needs to be fairly solid before they start.

They are based in Pocklington near York which is nearer you than me.
