mason07shee Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 I would like to rechrome my pipes. They are in good shape but the chrome is flaking a bit . Quote
tundish2800 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 I have talked to a gut before about it he said almost all chromers wont because of the carbon in the pipes fucks up there dip or some shit like that. thats what i heard you would probably just have to call one and ask if they would do it Quote
mason07shee Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Posted October 17, 2009 That sucks man I'm giung to have to look into this...... Maybe I will have to invest in chromeing because this is bs! Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Whats BS? Theres guys that will do it, just get out ALL the shit inside the pipes i mean ALL of it. Then they plug the pipes off and do there thing. Theres a couple guys over here in BC that will do them, but proy wont warranty them for very long re chroming used pipes. Just how it is man. Im sure you can find someone that will do this also in Edmonton close to you. Hell i remember a guy that used to do it in St Albert awhile ago...i check into see if he still in the business. I had my Jaws pipes chromed few years back on my sled and they lasted great even being used. Biggest step is the prep. Or get a ceramic jet hot coating. I had this done to my Hooker long tube strip headers on my 80 Silverado 1/4 mile truck back in 1999 and they still look really nice to this day and keep the heat down also. Not as shinny as tipple plate show chrome but there pretty shinny, and I had this done at Jet-Hot in Calgary. Oh the Race city drag days in calgary.......those were the days.......... Quote
mason07shee Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Posted October 17, 2009 right on man im going to call around and see what they say . i was only saying bs because i knew someone had to do this. thanks man Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 right on man im going to call around and see what they say . i was only saying bs because i knew someone had to do this. thanks man First thing i would ask is if they will do used pipes and will they give at least any warranty on there chrome on used pipes at all. Then ask them if they know someone that will get the carbon outa the pipes for you as they proly wont want to mess with that shit. Good luck man. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Might check into industrial chemical strip, takes off everything but metal; rust, grease oil etc. Auto restoration places use this process. Quote
