rechroming

Mirror finish renewal

Rechroming is the process of stripping old chrome plating from a metal surface and applying a fresh layer.

The procedure restores shine and corrosion resistance to automotive bumpers, motorcycle parts, bathroom fixtures, and other chromed objects that have become pitted, peeling, or dull with age: The cost of rechroming the vintage car's trim exceeded our budget.
