CHROMER - DO NOT USE

Post by FJWALLY »

I don't normally name and shame but have to in this case

F. G. Electroplating (Ferntree Gully)
6/10 Rushdale St, Knoxfield,
Ph: 9763 7562.

Just a warning that you should avoid these guys at all costs
very aggressive on metal work and damage castings to the point they are useless and take zero responsibility for their screw ups.
Completely destroyed a bonnet bar - bonnet bird and a pair of bumperettes and did poor to average job on many other parts many I'll have to do again.
He will not refund for the crap work either.

Be warned.
You will find me lost somewhere!

Perhaps not much help for those in other states, but Queanbeyan Electroplating (Technology) are absolutely brilliant. I've spent a large fortune there in recent months and never disappointed.

I also had a great experience with Albury chrome, I did my bumpers there and they were flawless.

Just courier the bits and they send them back properly wrapped and looking like new.

Sent some parts to them and they sat there for months un finished with no estimate of completion time so got them back and moved on to number three.
