[rai1300]

Hi All.

Am after some info on GDYUP's favorite topic... Nickel Plating

Where do I go? (Melb Area).
How much should I pay? (Eg Grab Handle).
How do I know if its done properly?

Thanks in advance.

Rai,
Got my rims done by Electromold , 302 Holt Pd, Thomastown,VIC. Ph# 03 9464 0922, in June last year, $520-530, incl cush drive hub, you pay freight.They came back looking immaculate. About six months later small pin-pricks of corrosion were coming through in a couple of areas on both rims. I rang and spoke to Phil at E/mold, he said they had a prob with the quality of a batch of plating chemicals and that it had been sorted, as a result they paid for freight and replated rims and hub.....he was straight up and at no time tried to dodge responsibility.....thought this type of cust. support deserved a mention.........and they look excellent.
The process is a triple Nickel plate, so maybe ring local electroplaters and ask them esp. price........You can get em done in Mexico (not Victoria) for $100-150 US. per rim and apparently great quality.........useless info....but if someone reeeeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyyyy likes Nickel?????????
