Rechroming has been talked about here many times and there should be a piece put in the tech. tips for everyone to read and makeup his mind on what type of Chroming they want. There two types of Chrome plating being done in todays auto market.
The first type is the Nickle,Nickle,Chrome.
In my estamation this Chrome style doesn't have the deep look of the older type Chrome or the shine that the old style has.
Nickel, Nickle does not fill as well when you put the Chrome over it in my opinion and you can see some sanding marks if not done well.
The second type of Chrome is the old style
Copper,Nickle,Chrome.
The Copper Base you get the deep scratchs filled with Copper which is the base for your Nickel to bond to then comes the Chrome which gives that deep look and luster.
The process is like preparing for a paint job. The better you prep the base the better it will look when finished.
Remember you get what you pay for in quality in todays market
