How to Plate, Polish, and Chrome
Whether you own a custom motorcycle or a flamed-out hot rod, beautifully finished metal parts are the finishing touch that transforms a nice machine into a million-dollar baby. Aluminum and steel can be polished, chromed, anodized, plated, and painted, and this book shows enthusiasts how to do it. The book includes what is required, what it will cost, when to use different processes and whether to have a professional do it or tackle the project at home. Author Dennis Parks answers every question completely and clearly, and offers step-by-step instructions for whatever is within the purview of home mechanics.

Good Information
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book has some good information for those who wish to add a little extra shine to the bling on their bike. It could have been more in depth but it is helpful and nicely presented. Plenty of photos and illustrations let you easily grasp the concepts presented here.
Very informative

I had always assumed that stuff like chrome plating and anodizing had to be done in an expensive shop somewhere. I had no idea that I could do it myself. I'm very glad that I bought this book. Even if you don't plan on doing the work yourself, this book will help you find the right shop to do the work.
