I had a fork rechromed by a company in St. louis. $50.00 and it was flawless. They referred to it as "show" chrome. It was simply amazing. The guy I dealt with said he had done complete bikes in the past for around $200.00.
Just wondering whether powdercoat would be an option. They have metallics nowadays that look pretty sharp. Not saying it would look as good as real chrome, but might still give the look desired, and at a much lower price than a full chrome and repaint.
Anyone here have experience with chrome-look powders?
