Rim Strips
What do I need to start my own rim "dipping" chroming buiness? Machines, solutions etc.?
I can't find anybody in my area that does rechroming. I was looking into getting in to that business myself but not sure on all the machinery and or soulutions I need to chrome rims. I know they need to be stripped down or sand blasted to the bare metal (how ever it's done) then dipped into a nickle plate solution that helps the chrome solution stick better. But still unsure on how the whole process works and what all I need to get the business started. If any one can point me in the right direction on what all is needed please let me know.
As a kid, my friend's dad restored cars. They rechromed parts in an aquarium tank full of the chormium solution. They ran a current through it with a battery charger. It was the neatest thing I had ever seen.
Parts needed to be buffed to perfection and buffed between treatments. The triple plated items were beautiful !!
Large chrome items would require a large vat and a very stron source of power. I believe the vapors are toxic and OHSA requirements now are very strict.
Hope this helped a bit.
Good luck.
