Hi guys,
I'm at the point in my project where it's time to address my aluminum trim pieces. I just spent a couple of hours working on a few pieces straightening and smoothing. My questions are these: Has anyone had their trim rechromed? What should I look for in a chromer and are there any pitfalls of which I should be aware? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/givemebeer.gif) |
