Can you any of you tell me the ins and outs of chroming part but not all of a frame? I have read that paint and powdercoat won't stick to chrome so I guess chroming the whole frame is not a good option.
Thanks in advance,

Can we see pics of the frame/fork before you do anything to it? I'm just curious to see how bad the damage is before you strip it and redo the frame.

I"m assuming that the frame is badly cosmetically damaged warranting a repaint considering repaints really hurt the value of Paramounts.
