  • Chipping chrome

    I found a great deal on some rims, only problem is they have the chrome chipping off. So I'm wondering what my options are other than just dealing with it. How hard is it to remove the chrome? Could I then polish them or would I have to replate them or have them powder coated?

      Really? :D Thats good to know.

      I still might want to stay away from chrome to keep from running into this problem later, not sure. So is it possible to remove the chrome and polish them?

          A clearcoat will make them easier to clean.
          It will be a hassle however if you don't clean them ritually, and over time the clearcoat will begin to fade and discolor.
