Bansh-eman Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 i heard you couldnt get them re chromed because the oils and carbon on the inside will ruin all the chroming agents and crap.. not true. Alot of places will not re-chrome used pipes becasue it will contaminate thier tanks, but this doesnt mean they cant be redone. Send bk_banshee a pm on here, he did alot of chrome work for me and his shit is top notch! prices are not cheap but its not cheap chrome by any means Quote

For T-6's I'd go with E-bay or Craig's list and get a real set of pipes.............j/K man Bansh-eman - damn I haven't seen those bouncing flower's in quite some time...................... Quote
BellicoseBanshee Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Is it surface rust, or is the chrome finish pitted? Buy some fine steel wool #000, spray the rust with some kind of penetrating oil, and gently scrub the rust off. You will be surprised how well they may look if the chrome is not too bad. Quote
