[NEW PLACE TO GET PARTS CHROME PLATED!]

I didn't see prices.....except $55 for a empty rack!!!!!!

So how much does it end up costing???

25 per rack.

my own rack getting plated

I would respectfully request you get  your shipping cost down to about 1.50, that seems about right for something that can probably fit in a #10 envelope and ship for the cost of a first class stamp. I could see how I could use some of these but that shipping cost is killing me.

The body looks good from what I can tell, but is it just me or does it look like the coating on the engine parts is pretty heavy?

I'm seeing what looks like material "pooling" around the bolts.

Probably not a huge issue with most parts, but I could see how it could be a problem with something like a fine mesh grille.

grills wont be a problem look at the vents on the impala cowl and i doubt the revell parts are as sharp  as mobius

Where do I sign up?

[hydrochroming has reached model builders on]

Ok, I understand now.

I was under the impression that you were contemplating getting set up to do this yourself Frank. That's where the expense comes in.

I guess it's a viable alternative to places like Chrometech if this is the case.

I would have to hear a few testimonials from customers as to how the finish is & how durable it is before I would dive in, as well as whether or not my precious priceless parts can be trusted in the hands of someone I've not dealt with before.

they do 1:1s with it and heat resistant to 250 degrees and look at the videos its pretty clean process

 

[hydrochroming has reached model builders on]

Yeah, I became aware of this process some time ago.

Initially, I thought it looked pretty promising & simple.....until I saw the price tag!

I can get a lot of parts rechromed with Chrometech for that kind of cash!

 

Steve

Turn around is less than a week

 

[hydrochroming has reached model builders on]

I don't know anything about this. What are you chroming with. Does it just require a spray gun and compressor and a catch tank or something? The results look great

I didnt do this but i will be doing business with said person its a silvering process similar to how mirrors are made, i followed the process and like 3d printers its very expensive for a startup but its a pretty easy business to get started in

[hydrochroming has reached model builders on]

Price wise its there with Vacuum plating, however the rack size is a lot bigger a 10x10 for 35$ plus shipping i got a 16x11 rack for around 50 plus shipping

It was meant as an example, Frank. By the way, congrads on the Form 1 purchase. I had the impression about a year ago that you were leaning toward making a purchase. Nice choice.

i had to get a refund my dog had a emergency surgery the form 1 people were very cool about it and sent him a get well card and treats

 

[3D printing quality]

I tend to believe things will things will be a little different. A cottage industry much like resin casting will evolve. Printable part files will be available for purchase. It's already started. I have 2 Delaheye 135 Heller kits. I want to print out a F&F coach works body for the 135 & 165 roadster. I could create the files, or I could purchase the files already done from here:  http://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/car/antique/delahaye-135m-figoni-and-falaschi-convertible-1937 and  http://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/car/antique/delahaye-t165-1939. I have already checked and they fit my needs and save my a lot of time.

it has more on the Import aftermarket crowds and in the Donk model scene
