whiteboarder Posted June 6, 2005 Report Posted June 6, 2005 hey i was wondering if i could get my pipes rechromed and if so how much? Quote
NYUK Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 most platers won`t touch used pipes, but some will. probably like 100 to 150 a pipe.the dirt and oil in the pipes contaminates the nickle bath. Quote
onz Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 i j got my t5s rechromed a while ago with no problems..ive heard the same thing about rechroming pipes its all bullshit..my buddy is a plater in vegas he will do just about anything you want done.. Quote
Fireman-hott Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 Platers will rechrome them for you. Most anyway. They'll get an acidic bath to clean them before they go into the other tanks. Quote
decon Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 not to take over your thread, but anyone know how much nickel plating costs? and how much it costs to chrome a set of pipes? Quote
Fireman-hott Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 Nickle doesn't cost as much as chroming, actually I think half as much give/take. Chromeing a set will depend on what kinda job your looking for. Prior to getting them chromed its a good idea to buff the hell outta them into a nice shine. Your looking at anywhere from $100-150/set unless you know them or bring in a quantity than you can get the price down to $50 or so. Or as we did found abuff and chrome shop that work together and get the sets buffed and chromed for $100/set. Someone might be able to chime in better on the Nickel plating. Quote
