Chrome Plating

[MustangManiac]

I have just bought a ProCharger about a month and a half ago. The intercooler pipes are a bit rusted and I was thinking about getting them chrome plated. Is this a good idea? And would anyone know where a good place to bring them?

I'd spend the money on new tires and suspension for your ride first.

I saw it at the 3m company picnic and, before you put anything into that car, make it safe.

As for chrome plating, contact twin cities plating, look into plating alternatives, such as ceramic with a high-temp coating over the top of that to keep your air charge temp lower.

I would do a ceramic coating instead of chrome....polish it up and it looks shiney and pretty, plus it doesn't retain heat like chrome does.

Not all ceramic coating is shiny, fyi.

Check out NECO plating.

Why not just powder-coat them in a chrome like or paint-scheme matching color ? All sorts of powder-coaters around. I use Kangas Enameling in Hopkins.

Powder chrome looks like rattle can.

There is also Ecco Finishing(or is it plating?)

I know there are at least 3 platers in the twin cities.

True, but typically people think of ceramichrome when they think ceramic coatings.... I personally would do black or gray most likely.

We do an olive drab at work, then another high temp coating goes over that

Yeah, I need new tires. Those should be coming next week. I just got a new job. I lost my last job because the place where I was working got sold an they only gave me a week notice. GAY! But now I am getting back on my feet.
