Considering Chroming a haf932

mrsemi · Nov 13, 2012, 07:25 PM

I know if I pay someone to do it, there'd have to be spacers in the mounting holes. Not sure of the clearance for the trays will allow them to snap back in after.

Anyone ever done this? Any tips?

I would assume the chassis would need disassembled and stripped of paint and primer. Once there you could likely chrome all the parts, and then get some rivets to put it all back together.

Gonna give it to the chromer He seemed to think he could dip it without disassembly, but I'm going to have to take a closer look. I've never riveted anything, just given this guy so much chrome work for my bike in the recent past I thought it might be cool as I've got an extra i7 layin around now.
