nzsubbie Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Does any one in chch do proper chrome plateing which involves copper plate 1st. Then the nickal then chrome. I know there is an place in geraldean and Timaru. But is there any closer than that or in chch. I know alot of the platers here only do the nickal and chrome plate only. and have found the plate does not last and rust thru on items like steel radiator covers etc ( even if its kept polished and undercover ) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I've heard lots of good things about shiney bits in Geraldine. They're supposed to be the shit. BUT, I know someone who just picked up a bunch of rare and irreplaceabe bit from there and they weren't that flash. For the wad of money that was paid, they were below what you'd expect. I think some of it is going back in the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzsubbie Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 sounds like i mite go with Geraldine. Im bit weary for there prices. Theres an guy i know who had his hub caps chrommed by them. They where brass hub caps ( so didnt need copper plate ). They were not very big. and they charged $100 dollars each hub cap. so $400 all up that was an few years ago too. what kinda prices do they charge now?
