Not in house, however, if you have polishing and plating, we would be more than happy to send the plating out for you. We can also prep for plating, usually by special request. If your part needs more attention to detail (nooks and crannies prepped perfect, or ‘especially’ flat surfaces) than the guys at the plating shop can give it, we would then do the pre-polish. This can be a little bit more cost on average, but it will be ‘super’ show quality.

No, in fact, we would recommend against plating aluminum wheels. At any time, a rock pit, scrape or deicing/harsh chemicals can break the seal between the plating and the alloy, allowing corrosion to start, resulting In bubbling under the chrome surface, then ultimately peeling. Solution, those wheels can be polished to as good or better of a finish than chrome, and with a little bit of maintenance, they can be kept that way.

Yes. Chrome can be plated on chrome on small bore and large bore liners using specialized proprietary methods.

Usually not, chrome plating is just that, plated on the surface, very quickly, the chrome would be buffed through and the underlying nickel and copper would be exposed.

The thickness of the tin coating for .25# coating is nominally 0.000015" on each surface. The thickness of the chrome coating is nominally 0.0000003" on each surface.

Chrome Wheelskins will give even the most basic style steel wheels an impressive and expensive "hi-end" look and are an inexpensive alternative to those chromed alloy wheels that cost 20 times as much. Wheelskins are made to fit like a "skin" right over your wheel and take only minutes to install. A series of interlocking metal clips securely fasten each "skin" in place making them easy to maintain and car wash safe.

Try a polarizing filter, also called a polarizer. If you have an SLR which uses phase detection for autofocus (most do), then you'll need to get a circular polarizer to avoid conflicts with your autofocus mechanism. I haven't tried it myself, but a circular polarizer probably is not necessary with non-SLR digital cameras.

Restricting your food intake too much leaves you hungry and downright irritable. (You know that!) When you restrict calories, such as when you start a traditional "diet" or skip meals, the body instantly goes into "survival mode" and sends very powerful signals, telling your body to hoard fat and your brain to find food fast. Right now! Why? Because it thinks it's starving, and it doesn't know when it will get food again.

When you pull your new wheelskins out of the box you will see that they have a series of clips along the outside rim. These clips are what secure the wheelskin to the rim. Please do not attempt to force the skin onto the rim. This may cause damage to the clips and cause them to either be unmountable or mount loosely.

Neither. The Polished Aluminum TMB ProCan has a very lustrous, shiny finish which is often referred to as "Silver" or "Chrome".

The Black Chrome finish is the newest finish available on OEM and Custom Wheels. Being both shiny and reflective the Black Chrome finish is very similar to chrome. The only difference is that with the Black Chrome finish the color of the chrome is in fact a Pearl Black. Black Chrome application is a patented process. Essentially, pure chromium is applied to a surface by physical vapor deposition, in a vacuum metallization chamber and then protected with a liquid clear coat.

Sturgis Wheel Co. has been around for 15 years. We have been making wheels longer than most people have. We believe in providing our customers with an excellent product that will last A LIFE TIME!!!! We realize bikes are expensive and custom wheels are an additional cost. We do not want you come back unhappy. We want to sell you a GREAT set of wheels you will love and have forever. I know, I know, everyone wants Chrome… Why though? Because they shine? Of course they do, for a while.

No. We found a company that does a very nice job re-chroming bumpers and restoring trim for old cars. Send us a Free Quote describing what you need and we will put you in contact with them. We can powder coat but we can't sandblast the metal. The reason we can't sandblast the metal is because it will warp. In general, you only want to sandblast heavy gauge metal such as wheels, frames, suspension parts, drive shafts, etc.

PennDOT offers a person with disability plate that provides parking privileges and they offer a person with disability parking placard. (The placard hangs on the vehicle's rear view mirror and provides the same parking privileges as the person with disability plate.) Unfortunately, they are unable to offer specialty plates with the handicapped insignia on it. A customer can apply for a PA Breast Cancer Coalition plate and apply for a person with disability parking placard.

The coating thickness of hard chrome is generally greater than that of decorative chrome, as it is often further processed by grinding or machining. Decorative chrome offers enhanced cosmetic appearance and corrosion protection for the underlying material.

Hand rolling chrome is not easy, you may be better off taking the chrome subset contained in the nightly embedding builds if you're not comfortable crafting your own. Or use the standalone ActiveX control installer.

The 3M automotive tape does its job very well, and removal of peel-and-stick trim products may cause damage to auto paint if you are not careful. While installation of our Chrome grill inserts does not cause damage, removal may, in some cases. The plastic clips hold tightly, and may possibly cause paint chips when being removed. Some models have 3M tape to supplement the clips, and the same precautions noted above must be taken when removing the tape.

Plastic lube plates (PN 74295) can be used to avoid messy grease. The plastic lube plate must not exceed 3/16 of an inch in thickness to ensure hitch will operate properly. Lube plates must be 10 inches in diameter or larger to properly distribute king pin weight. Lube plate (PN 74295), provides a greaseless lubricant between the skid plates of the fifth wheel hitch and the pin box.

A Yes. Up to $10.00 (for each plate requested) may be added to the initial fee, for a total amount of up to $38.00 per plate requested, which will be placed in a general account to fund activities and projects to increase awareness of Autism in the state of Kentucky.
