Prep work required for chrome electroplating
Nearly 50-60% of the cost of chrome plating an aluminum part goes to pay for the prep work the other 40% is the electroplating (dipping) process where the zink, copper, nickel, and chromium are deposited onto the part. Who knows what it takes to prep an aluminum part for this process. For the "do it yourselfer", what should the surface finish be like (glassy smooth or some " fine roughness").
