To do it correctly is expensive. Cyclart in Vista does chrome plating, and has a description of the process on its website HERE.

Also, heat treated steels such as True Temper OX Platinum, Reynolds 753 and 853 should not be chrome plated. The plating process compromises the benefits of heat treatment (see Waterford Q&A).
