FireHead Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 PM bk_banhsee on here. He is about the only one I would trust to do that kind of work. Platers tend to be shadey folks. :thumbsup: Quote
jbooker82 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 Most places wont touch a used set of pipes. The oil can ruin a 60K tank of chemical. Quote
FireHead Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 Most places wont touch a used set of pipes. The oil can ruin a 60K tank of chemical. Word. However, bk_banshee has a good pipe rechroming program. :thumbsup: Quote
bk_banshee Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 Most places wont touch a used set of pipes. The oil can ruin a 60K tank of chemical. Yep, Thats the truth. The only way I can get them done is have them cleaned when they are cycling out the soap tank. I did fireheads in 3 weeks. I just need time once cleaned it takes 24 - 48 hours to polish and chrome.

So $300 Plus shipping might not be the best investment I also have a nicer set of FMF's that I'd sell too. Quote

Rock-46 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 $300 sounds about right. I think I paid about $250 when I had my T5's redone. Quote

He is better at this particular task of rechroming than anyone I have met thus far. :thumbsup: Quote
