00 or 0000? I would think 00 would be a little ruff. Aluminum foil would be even better.

Y'all are holding out on us
Thanks for the tips.

What causes the gold discoloration on chrome?
Will this remove it?

P

pipes caused by heat if other chrome parts are looking gold it might be the nickel plating showing thru on a poor chrome job

Thanks Kevin... Probably what is happening in this case.

I've done some research on the EPA regulations for chrome plating, read a couple times that the same standards were not adopted by Canada. On one of the sites it stated that due to this Canada is able to produce a far superior chrome plate. I don't believe very many opinions that I read on the internet, so does anyone on here know if this is true? I will be re-plating some parts on Sue's bike, gonna try a local plater in Toronto and wanted a bit of feedback before I pull the trigger. Thanks

I thought most of the regulations were regarding waste water and air filtration at the plants rather than any particular process changes. So not sure how it could be "better" although I don't know a whole lot. But I assume the platers have it figured out by now it's been 25 years since the last regulation.

Chromium Electroplating And Anodizing Tanks

Introduction

November 1994, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized regulations known as the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) to control air emissions of chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing tanks. NESHAP, Subpart N affects ALL facilities performing hard or decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing, regardless of size. The EPA estimates that these regulations will reduce chromium emissions by electroplaters and anodizers by about ninety-nine percent.

Why is EPA regulating electroplating and anodizing tanks?

The hexavalent form of chromium is highly toxic and strongly suspected of causing lung cancer. Less is known about the trivalent form of chromium, but it can accumulate in the lungs and may decrease lung function after continuous exposure. The EPA believes that the high toxicity of chromium compounds and the close proximity of many small shops to residential areas warrant regulation of all sources, even small businesses.

I do believe it was 2007 that the last regulation was implemented, could be wrong tho.. As far as the process I think certain chemicals involved in plating were banned from use in the US and not Canada...again could be wrong. Just thought someone may know the inside skinny on this..

What's really weird is we probably got a guy that does almost everything o. This forum but no chromers.

Hoping maybe someone knows about it..

I used to work at a chrome plating plant and they used cyanide in one of the very first dip tanks!!! The plater was one of the largest around. It took 1hr. 45mins to go from first tank to the last one!!!

I would suggest getting moisture from somewhere other than your tounge especially after the compound is on the wipe. Hate to think of ingesting this.

Dent do you wet sand the motor? Thinking about doing it but don't want to screw up the professional polishing job

Do you hit the area around the plugs? My fins are diamond cut and they don't take much to get a shine.

You should get some chrome headbolt covers to clean that up

Holy crap that looks good! I do not have the patience for that shit, I should do it someday, but I am just too lazy, looks awesome though!

Well, Sue did order some of the blue job, and I ordered a bottle of the Noxon. We will see what works best. I have a feeling though that Sue will not be helping ....
