[QUOTE="Chris.R, post: 100812, member: 4043"] I have had my Dunlop rims chromed by Collins at Wrythe Green Surrey allegedly triple chromed, the job I feel could have been done better but I have only this one experience of chroming to go by, They did not blast the centres for painting should they have done? they said to mask and acid etch the centres and that they could then be painted, the one wheel chrome is uneven in the centre I am told that polishing could not remove the all the corrosion bubbles. Where the lip has been chromed not right down to the inside of the rim there is some rust not dealt with by the processes. I guess I can remove the rusting by sanding it down and using a Jenolite type rust neutralising treatment and then painting on a galvanizing or Zinc solution. I am struggling to find anyone who will paint wheel rims and do not feel confident or have the knowledge to have a go myself. Having a go might not give a good result. I have left messages for alleged wheel painters on several voice mails and sent emails all of which have gone unanswered. I need all the advice I can get Chris [/QUOTE]
