Whats the latest rechromimg recommendations?

#1 PostAuthor: becker » Fri Jan 13, 2017 2:54 pm

Have searched the forums and a few recommendations appear, but the threads are many years old - c2007/2008 - Marque restorers near Coventry appears and still seem to be going.

Have a recommendation for a company near Biggleswade, but their lead time is about 14 weeks :shock: which says a lot about the quality of their work, but was hoping for something a bit quicker - would like to crack on with the restore of my 70s TS.

Wondering what the latest thinking is on places to get rechroming done - ideally near Oxford, but somewhere south of Birm, west of London, east of Bristol would be ok.

Cheers in advance.

Z1B (in Z1A colours), Z1000A1, ZRX1100 C4, Suzuki TS125J (being restored), Suzuki T125J (in boxes), Garelli Rekord MKII (awaiting restoration), most of a Garelli Rekord MKI

Marque restorers in coventry seem to have a decent reputation, a few of the harley owners local to me tend to use them on quite a regular basis.
