Chroming or Powder Coating

**greg** · #1 (**permalink**) 10-24-2007, 03:29 PM

Is anybody tried to powder coat (sterling silver powder) for example door handles for roundtail instead of chroming.
Also any reliable chroming shop?

Thx

I had all my chrome stuff rechromed, and I can not imagine that powder coating would give results as nice. As for a chrome shop, where are you located?

My son had his exhausts powder coated on a chopper project, the high temp stuff worked ok, not shiney, more like brushed aluminum. Possibly some coats for low temp stuff will look better.

I tried it on my cam cover but was not really happy with the results. It could have been my technique but I think at best it is going to look like chromed plastic rather than metal. I would re-chrome, especially if it is a Duetto... or keep an eye out for handles on eBay.
