Hi, folks.
|
The banner at the top of the page leads to plating shops which specialize in restoration of automobile parts, so you could try them; alternately, you can use our Jobshops Directory to locate plating shops in specific areas. A further source might be Hemmings Motor News [link is to product info at Amazon], where specialty suppliers to classic auto enthusiasts often advertise. Unfortunately, if these are aluminum/mag alloy wheels, you may find the restoration cost unacceptable. It's a complicated process and the old issue of labor cost is a killer. Whereas new wheels are processed dozens at a time in automatic plating lines, restoration involves fighting with the details of each particular wheel one at a time. Frankly, you may find that replating costs more than new wheels so, unless they are really special or of sentimental value, it may not be worth it. We have an Introduction to Chrome Plating on line if the subject interests you :-) Regards, |
