What will be the best chrome machine for bike parts




2005

Hi, there
I'm looking to chrome all my bike parts and don't know which machine will do a better job.
It is very important to find the best equipment for the job.

Thanks you all,

Yes, it is important to find the best equipment for the job. A surgeon doing an appendectomy should certainly use the right scalpel. But more important is that an untrained person not attempt an appendectomy regardless of what scalpels they have available.

Chrome plating simply should not be done except by trained professionals in an industrial environment. Please see our Chrome Plating Tutorial. If you cannot find a plating shop to do these parts for you, you should settle for one of the "chrome-like" paints. The results will not really equal chrome plating, but they can be quite good, and even OEMs are using them.

Hello, Imad. "Chroming machines" do not exist in the sense of Chevrolets or Toyotas. Rather, a chrome plating factory can be built in the sense of a paper mill or a steel mill. Please express your question in terms of the answers already offered instead of starting over. Thanks!
