Re: Last call...

Never used them myself, but Quality Chrome seems to be consistent recommended among the motorcycling fraternity. No idea if they do variations on chroming though. https://www.qualitychrome.co.uk/index.php

Re: Last call...

Thanks Mark...

Ferg...Quality Chrome don't list dull, satin or matt chrome as a service and don't show any in their gallery...

Craig...['Can you share the platers you've found? I'm looking to get my parts done over the winter. Happy to take recommendations...']...

It looks like I'll be using the company I have found...Note that I am after a completely dull and consistently even finish, ie. not satin chrome, not brushed chrome, no 'bright' spots etc...
I won't recommend anyone untried but I plan to post the parts off this week and will share the results here when the parts are returned...Lead time is theoretically 6-8 weeks from reciept of parts but we'll see...I've heard it all before...
As stated in my previous post I've completely lost faith in any platers ability to produce a dull chrome finish correctly having had all my parts plated twice already by people who claimed to be able to do the job but couldn't...Hopefully I won't be p*****g £450-500 plus vat up the wall this time......Ian

Re: Last call...

I have used Marque Restore as well. Great finish, terrible at communicating. It is very difficult getting hold of them. Visiting them was the best option. Maybe John has better experiences with communication than I had. Haven't used them for 2 years now.

Hi Ian, personally I have always used Hockley Polishing-

I've always had good results from them. The dull chrome on my M20 was done back in the early nineties and it still cleans up very well.
Cheers. Mick.

Re: Last call...

Hi Leon
Having had some email issues - I started to communicate with the lady there via watsapp
After this - responses were rapid & informative
She doesn’t work full time there so once I knew this & had established contact with her - I was happy with comms from there on
