If he chrome is chipping, I dont knwo of anyone that will coat over it, and you can not just blast chrome off!

i just just noticed one small speck that the chrome it chipping off in, on one wheel.

what would you charge to coat them? the chrome is not flaking off or anything, just a bad pit from teh salt this winter that cause a small chip

a truck rim would run about $125, but im not really sure anyone, including myself, will want to try it. In order to properly prep them, it could damage the chrome to the point the powder coat adhesion and durabilty would be affected. I dont mean to sounds like I dont want the work, just trying to be as honest as I can
