Shiny Ramps
« on: August 16, 2013, 06:18:56 PM »
Hi guys, I've just had the ramps on my Star Wars and Bride of Pinbot re-chromed and they've come up sensational.



Previously they were quite dull and there were a few rust spots I hadn't been able to completely remove with past attempts to shine them up.

Before



After



Its a pretty simple thing to do and overall I'm very happy with the way they've come up. Once back in, they will make both machines just that bit fresher. Especially BoP as I have the new plastic ramps to go it that machine also.

It was a 5 working day turn around and $160.00 for the 4 ramps as well as a couple of other smaller brackets I had done. There's only the one place in Albury who do this work so your really at there mercy as far as time and $ are concerned but considering the processes the parts go through 5 days is probably about what I'd expect anywhere.

Ha ha, yep. I don't ask how long any more because they always tell me a month for chrome and a week for zinc but if I just casualy drop back in there quite often done a lot earlier. As you know though some times you come back in a week and their still sitting on the front shop counter where I left them.  ^&^ all good this time though.
