Re: Local chrome plating?
I'm gonna be doing this soon too (for the lips) should I do triple plating in chrome or the powder chrome? Is there a noticeable difference between the powder chrome and the triple plating? if so would it be worth the extra money? Then I'm thinking gold for the faces.
EDIT: this is also the first time my entire set has been together (put the winter set on)

Go with the powdercoat chrome,then you can have the faces done at the same time.

As said above,you can't chrome just part of a wheel.You'd have to do the whole thing,and see then see if any powdercoating place would be willing to scuff the face and coat over the chrome(or if it's even possible).You could also see if a paintshop would do the same,but again,I don't know if paint would even adhere to scuffed chrome.
Go with the powdercoat chrome,then you can have the faces done at the same time.
