G'day all,
I need to get a few mild steel and alloy motorcycle parts re-chromed and am looking for somewhere that does a decent job for a decent price. Has anyone used these guys at Tingalpa? http://www.qldchromeplating.com.au/ Cheers, Russ |

Had an indifferent experence with these guys getting an XW/Y rear bumper bar recoed. What I saw of the actual chrome work it was good. However, they forgot to weld and fill an old tow bar plug hole in the bar which I specifically requested at time of placing order.
They suggested I could just put a sticker over it and they'd take $100 of the price of $700+. I declined, thank you very much, and ended up abandoning the bar and buying a repo bar for $400. They weren't particulary quick either. |

I used to live just round the corner from them, and I tried getting some stuff done first they wouldn't give me a proper quote, then when I did drop the parts off they gave another higher estimate, and sari anywhere between 2 weeks and two months to get them done.
I walked out with my parts. But the work I saw there that had been done looked top notch, I just think their service is a bit crap. |

I used these guys when I got my extractors done
http://www.competitioncoatings.com.au/index.html They're at Archerfield. I think it was about $400 for the both of them. Took a couple of days for them to do it. They didn't try to jack up the price or pull anything like that. Overall a good experience. However take note of this in your decision: Quote:

I got them to do some stuff for me and had no dramas at all, in fact I would recommend them. have had quite a few people I know use them with no dramas.
