Eastwood's reflective chrome, haven't tried Columbia's yet. Didn't now they had a new chrome out. Maybe I need to check in to that

Danney P, do you do the powder coating? And how much will it cost for fender brackets (2), Engine mounts (2), 4 hubs, brake hub, and chain hub?

yeah columbias crome looks awesome until you clearcoat it. With their crome u have to clear it or it will come off, kinda sucks.

And if you don't clear it, it tarnishes fast!

i asked 3 different suppliers about the chrome pc...all 3 told me that the clear has a much higher gloss content then the chrome and thats why it knocks down the sheen of the chrome pc.

the only trick i have for the chrome is to fully cure the chrome and let it cool completely....then bring the part back to around 300 degrees and add the clear. it helps keep the chrome looking chrome:p
