you would need to seal up every hole in your frame by welding them shut.i seen a frame come out like shit .it also weakens it.hydrogen embrittlement occurs under the plating.

Well a good possibility is polishing the frame and the doing a clear PC. As for noticing that the chrome has weakened the frame, I doubt you could even measure it.

I wanted to chrome mine but came to this conclusion, ill spend 200 hour polishing and buffing to get it like a mirror only to have either the chrome shop have a dirty tank and id have to polish it again or 3 months after its done it starts to rust where the chrome couldnt get to, if dune demon can make my frame look like it was chromed ill ship it, and throw in a new set of rockets to knock down the cost, every part for my new rebuild is highly polished or chromed, it makes me sick to think i have to have my frame powder coated but not if it will look chrome!
