Black Chrome Restoration
Hi, I finally got my 2700 miles 86 GS550ES running correctly. It is in great shape but age has shown up in a few areas. I would like the black factory chrome exhaust re chromed black. I have emailed everyone I can find in the country. I cannot find anyone willing to take this on. They are non damaged, no rust, just want them to look new. Same for the wheels. They have no damage, I just want them redone to look new. Any suggestions? I have done ALL I can do at the "in home" level. I want them manufactured to showroom condition.
thanks! -

It's hard to find companies that will chrome exhaust systems because carbon can leach out from the inside and contaminate the chrome and stripping baths. Sorry, but I don't have any suggestions.Ed

Seems like that would be the holy grail of restoration. Black chrome. It’s come up numerous times. Never heard a positive result. Very best of luck.sigpic
