Chrome chassis

Prune · 17th June 2004, 05:26 AM

Where the hell do I find (decorative-) chrome plated enclosures? I looked all over the net and nobody sells them. How much would it cost to get a steel chassis chrome plated? After all, I've got to match the chassis to my chrome knobs...
Alternatively, anyone know sources of titanium or magnesium enclosures? Aluminum and steel are ugly, I don't like the color of brass, and I already have two copper/wood enclosures.

I had a pair of luggage racks chrome plated at a local plater for $100 about 6 years ago. They were 1"x2" square tubing about 40" long with brackets on the end to mount to the roof.

Just be sure to get straight where they can put the clamp on because that area will be imperfect.

How dare you say aluminum is ugly.

Just polished the aluminum. It will shine as bright as chrome. Take a look at:
