Kev.O Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I know this has been asked before but there wasn't a conclusive answer. Does anyone offer this service now that Colin has gone into early retirement ? I'm going to need a compressor housing fully polished sometime soon and thought I would find out if anyone could do this for me please? I may want the odd pipe polished and chromed aswell.

SupraShaun Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Im looking for somewhere too. I emailed this place earlier http://www.rschrome.co.uk about having some radiator clamps done, which they quoted £30 for. Im not to hot on prices for chroming so dont really know whether this is a good price or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not to hot on prices for chroming so dont really know whether this is a good price or not Is that just for the labour or is that including brand new clamps from Toyota ? Kev, My advice is to look in the classic car mags they have been blinging their engines long before it became popular here The polisher will probably need to see the parts first though. The chroming may be more difficult, finding someone who can chrome ally is quite hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 The chroming may be more difficult, finding someone who can chrome ally is quite hard. From experience of chromers in general on the classic car scene, its hard finding one thats good at chroming anything, let alone ally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Thats very expensive. You could save yourself some charges by stripping the paint off the clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
