    Question Chrome Plating Recomendations - VT

    Hey guys and girls, I need to get some misc odds and ends off my motorcycle and a couple motorcycles I am rebuilding for various people chromed. Not a ton of parts, no frames or anything like that. Passenger pegs, stator covers, kickstands etc. Stuff like that. All aluminum.

    Anyone know someone close to the Burlington Vt area that does that stuff and does a good job? I know aluminum has to be done correctly to look good and last...

    Thanks!

    hmm, I just looked their website up. I haven't really found anything in VT so who knows, maybe I'll just have to have it done out of state. ME isn't that far. Thanks for the recommendation.

    If you decide you want to go out of state one of the shops i do powder coating for has a killer chrome guy. Where its all small stuff shipping wouldnt be to bad both ways. Just something to consider.

    My father-in-law does chrome plating. Quality and price can't be beat. He's in Foster, RI. PM me what you have, and I'll get you a quote.

    I have had mine done by a guy named Miles just south of Hinesburg. I will try to find his info. Did great work. If you want to find it sooner call BC Motorsports and ask them for Miles phone number. BC is 802-877-6525

    Miles does powdercoating but I didn't think he did Chrome??? I certainly didn't see a chroming setup in his shop and he's never mentioned it.

    Would be very cool if he does.... I'll have to shoot him an email.

    I ended up polishing my stuff. But would still love to chrome them...

    Before:



    After:






    (The hairline scratches aren't in the chrome they are a reflection of the table and it doesn't have a dull spot, the flash just washed it out)
