difference types.

 

he said they can do..

chrome

Nickel plated chrome

Ceramic Chrome

Basically just get chrome , the nickel isnt full chrome, ceramic will look dull if you polish it, polished aluminum looks good but dulls. CHROME.

You don't want hard chrome, that's for hydraulic cylinder rods

you don't want nickel, that's for fancy old wood stoves

you DO want nickel-chrome also called decorative chrome, a layer of nickel for shine and then a layer of chrome for protection,the nickel also aids adhesion of the chrome.

Triple chrome is best, being copper-nickel-chrome,also known as show chrome. But much more expensive.

Ill ask the local shop about triple chrome.

is there any shop out there thats worth shipping to??

triple for chrome is more for parts that need restored, thet use the coppper to fill in rust pits and deep scratches, that can't be polished out otherwise.

Overboard for any banshee part, if it's that bad of shape just get another one.

This is all nickel chrome plated, and looks perfect.

But, yes talk to your chromer. they should have explained the options to you first anyway.

I want to have my stock swing arm plated

but am limited on tools and dont feel

shelling out 100 dollars to have some guy put it in a press and push a button.

I am wondering can it be plated the bearing in the swing arm

if I mask it off?

You don't need a press for your swing arm. You should be able to just pound them out.

Ill give it a try

I assume it doesn't matter if where the bearing goes gets platted

or does it need to be plugged?
