Chrome plating

[Deker 3,453]

Decorating time and I was going to get a new gas fire for the living room in Chrome, the gold is going, 

Then I thought about getting it chrome plated, the fire works fine, just the wrong colour.

I need all this plated, the grate front can all get done, not jut the gold bits.

Anyone know anything about chrome plating, any idea of costs or where I can get it done, as close to Reading as possible.

Cheers

My mates Grandad used to own a big factory that did it,used to do work for jaguar, tvr cars.... Remember saving up  £40 when I was 12 to get my Haro bmx re-cromed there

be a few near you just google chrome plating reading ...  http://www.polishingakmoto.com/    not long painted some black for someone .. some of the powder coats nice if you fancy a complete change .. i`ve restored a few jukeboxes its not cheap  to re chrome 

 

Thanks, emailed them pics asking for advice/costs!

Found someone else in Wembley and in Alton, they all seem a fair way off, such is life!

Edit...…. thought about Powder Coat, but concerned about temperatures, top centre of fire surround gets VERY hot (too hot to touch), the rest seems ok, need to find out more about Powdercoat, is there very high temperature stuff about?

Thanks all, making enquiries of Powder coaters...estimate to chrome plate the stuff in my picture is £300...wasn't expecting quite that much, still a lot cheaper than buying/fitting new fire!
