Rechroming exhaust pipes

A. You took the chrome right off the pipe by removing the nylon; what you are probably seeing is the bare metal or the nickel plate underneath the chrome. Now,can it be fixed? Yes,it can be fixed,how much it will be,I can't answer that,you'd have to get in touch with a local plating shop in your area or send them via mail to a plating shop that plates that sorta thing. Do you have to get both chromed? I would no,not necessarily,but ... will they both match -- probably not, I would pay the extra money and have them both re-chromed.

A. The exhausts can be repaired, but I suggest you take it to a professional chroming shop. If your exhausts have been plated using a hexavalent chromium bath and the shop uses the same, there should not be an issue with colour, but if it is trivalent chromium, or if the shop uses trivalent, there will be a difference in colour. Trivalent chromium is very difficult to get consistent colours over time.
