Chrome Plating Decal

[Dino]

Hi, the Broom decals on my boat were looking a very sorry sight. Unfortunately there is nobody doing chrome plating in Ireland anymore so I’ve given them to a friend to bring back to London. He will post them for me.
Can anyone recommend a good chrome plater who does marine grade work and who will accept the items by post.
Thanks

Chrome paint is an alternative to plating and is like the real thing. I saw an episode of Wheeler Dealers where they used it on a car.

Not as good and vastly more expensive and requiring spray equipment and know-how. Still a valid suggestion though.

These folks did a very good job for me about six months ago - good price/fast. They do mail order etc and have a good website

Chrome Plating | Rechroming | Chroming - Ashford Chroming

Dino one potentially cost effective alternative closer to home might be to bring them to your local alloy wheel refurb place. Some of the slivers would look close to chrome. BMW Shadow Chrome.

I think I’m sorted, Harvey38 has suggested a company in the UK to do them. I have already sent them over to the UK with a friend so he will post them.
Thanks folks.

Would be nice if you named the company instead of sneaking off and doing it by PM. So everyone else can benefit from knowing the name/contact info of a recommended company

No-one "Sneaked" anywhere! The content of the PM was just that, a private message, are you in need of a chrome plater too?

If it is so vital to your knowledge base - Niphos Metal Finishing | Chrome plating and polishing shop in the North West

FFS ?

Here is another company that does plating.
I haven’t used them for a few years but their work was excellent.

Glasgow Chromers Ltd.

Rude and wrong.

Rude and wrong.

And in my opinion so was JFMs comment but hey, it's a free world (in some very remote parts).

Rude but right - maybe. More to the point IMO. Not wrong though.
