Default Next! ;)

Anyway, can I NON electrically nickel plate them with your kit and send them out to be chromed at my local shop? And if so would I have to polish it first? I'm happy with the chrome kit, but I'm tired of polishing for a while! They gave me a low price so if this is possible I'm goin that way. Your kits do rock though! I recommend them to everyone.

Sure - polish them first and after nickel plating, then send them off.

It's a soft metal. Use the same compound/wheel combo as aluminum. Sisal/Black then Cotton/Brown.
