Got My Order From Chrome Tech Usa!

[Billy Kingsley]

Hi guys, I took these pictures last night even though I got the order on Friday. I left these parts with him in Toledo and they arrived back to me already.

This is a before shot...there are some more though that I got in Toledo which I also had plated!

I broke this one when cleaning it up...can barely see where now!

Textured items chrome plate with a chrome texture...which is expected, and the way it's SUPPOSED to be.

what was that last thing... looked like road kill.

Yeah, sheesh I wish I could remember his name, I lived right down the street from him... ten years ago or so. Is he still on Ravenswood? Never even knew he did model chrome until right before I moved to Colorado. He does good work.

I gotta ask why period? Before retort is thrown let me ask this.

Is this real chrome as in chromium dipped copper plated parts or something? Did you have plastic chromed like the usual process or is there something I am missing in this year of 2007? Can I believe that I do recall hearing about a new process that chromes anything you want? I think I might have seen this done on a balloon.

Is this easier than AlCad and a clear?

It's for a secret project Jairus...I can't tell you yet...Nobody knows yet (Except the guy that printed the decals for me)...I HOPE that everybody will know by NNL East time, depending on how much progress I can make by then...I have to decide a few things before I can make progress though!!

True chrome plating relies on electrical current and a bath of metallic chemicals to deposit metal on metal. Triple chrome plating is actually 3 metals- a layer of copper, a layer of nickel (which provides the bright shine), and a layer of chromium, which does't tarnish and is very hard. Before chrome plating, they stopped at the nickel, but it required polishing. The chromium layer is only a few atoms thick, and I don't think the other metal layers are much thicker. Chrome parts in kits are chromed using aluminum powder and static electricity called vacuum metalizing. I don't know which process Chrome-Tech uses, does anyone know? By the way, Billy, I will be at NNL East, and I will be looking for chrome roadkill!
