    Is there anybody doing the proper triple plating process in Ireland or will I have to go to the UK?

    I also need to get some suspension parts blasted and either painted or powder coated, anyone, preferably in the West who would do this?

    Recommendations please.

    Thanks.

    I have being looking for a good rechroming place for my classic boats the only one I know of is Tubular steel, I have heard mixed reports on them and from what I can make out the rechroming is not hard enough for outside parts but would be fine for inside trim.
    If you do find a good place that you are happy with can you let me know.:D

    I think all the rechroming places in Ireland had to close because the disposable cost of the chemicals used were to high.:eek:

    I may not need one after all as I've managed to find a pair of NOS ones in Germany.

    This place was recommended to me by the people restoring my Audi 200.

    Powder coating is not all its cracked up to be. It is purely for decoration and does not offer proper protection. I spent a lot of time shot blasting components and getting them powder coated and they are no better now after 12 months. Once the coating cracks it takes no time at all to lift off.

    Use paint its cheaper!
