Chrome Anodising

[GSuperstar]

Is it possible to have a gun chrome annoed after its already got a dust finish on it?

Im aware there is a chrome lasoya timmy, but was that chrome from production, of was the chrome added afterwards?

Cheers

you cant annodise chrome, you plate it.

i'd imagine the company that plates the chrome would get rid of all the dust finish first then plate it...search around for companies that do it, although they may bugger up your gun

that's what i was thinking as anodising wouldn't be able to get the right finish, and i don't think i really wanna take the chance of screwing up my gun, ah well, guess i'll just have to carry on making myself look pimp

cheers

Clear anno yes i think you can....just laquer basicly...polish upo the bits and get them clear anno'....some of you may not know that Chrome isnt shiny, it's clear...just the bits underneath are polished which is y its a costly job

I have had a few parts chrome plated including a cocker body. No problems

What they need to do is strip the anno off, polish it up and then chrome plate it in hard chrome.

Got one of my cockers done for £30.00

I would suggest trying Yellow Pages under anodisers and electro platers. Ideally you want to be able to go to the place and have a chat with them. Check what the place looks like and what finishes they can achieve.

The place i used was over in Feltham or Hanworth or Hounslow. Have had a look on yellow pages website but can't see the one i used.

The main thing is to make sure that they polish it up to a real shine... just like painting a wall. The prep work is what really makes the difference.

As i say, pick a few and go and have a chat with them
