does anyone have a cheap solution for restoring chrome ?

I recently was working on a friends low buck project.he had a few small parts he wanted redone.I have personally only have had my chrome replated and know it is not in his budget . i was wondering if anyone knows of a cheap alt. to sending it out to be redone.spray on etc.. thanks for the heip

 

A while ago I saw this paint on chrome I did not give it much thought but a buddy of mine that owns a bike shop uses it and he loves the stuff. I saw some stuff he did with it and it looked really nice but of course I did not have any original chrome next to it to see if there was any tint difference I will look around and see if I can get the name of the product.

 

There is a place in Orange County on the west coast hear that I used and they are resonably priced and really do some great stuff. If he justs wants it to look presentable I found this stuff at Lowes called Brasso and this stuff really works good. Im mean really really good.

 

When in the Army, could not have made it thru Basic Training without Brasso.
Sorry 'bout the hi jack, back to regular scheduled program.

I have used Brasso on chrome, works pretty good, but made for brass, and really makes a brass radiator shine, or anything brass.

Find better used ones and sell the ones he's got. A lot of brightwork out there could be cleaned to "good enough" but goes for the same price as really scabby stuff that could never be cleaned up.

If it's horribly rusty chrome, turtle wax chrome polish works well. Hard to believe given it's wal-mart nature, but true.

No.

But crappy chrome doesn't bother me too much.

 

i find that the good spray on chrome is as difficult and expensive as the real thing, and not as durable

now...silver spray paint
