Dealing with flaky chrome

[Richard Saunders]

Got the spanners out which is always a disaster waiting to happen. I took the rubber block thingys off the front bumper over riders. Underneath the over rider there is a patch about the size of a 2p piece where the chrome has disappeared. Does anyone know of a chrome paint or any other kind of substance I can use to seal the area and stop any more chrome pealing off? It'll be underneath the over rider so won't be seen. Form over function. Thanks!

I THINK THAT ONCE ITS STARTED TO LIFT due to corrosion theres not a lot can be done but strip and re-chrome

if its not seen then silver hammerite will be ok

Have a look at > a gateros plating <, brush plating kits. It would mean VERY careful prep. Martin.

hi , firstly i would remove any really loss rust the treat with a rust treatment like rust remody then primer and paint , this i,m sure would at least stop it from creaping under your existing chrome work ! i wouldnt like to put a treatment on the visible chrome work but i,m sure this would help !
