#1 PostAuthor: mikey » Tue Jul 31, 2018 10:00 am

I know to some of you it might sound strange me of all people asking this but can anyone reccomend a good chrome plater.
I have a kick starter for my Z1000 i need plating (already stripped and polished) i stopped that side of my business a few years ago after losing faith with the 2 or 3 platers i was using if i find a good one i may start it up again cheers.

I know and have used a guy near me by brands hatch in kent. He mostly does top brand car bits n pieces. He's 'done some bits for me and a few mates in the tripples club. I can pm his details if of use.

I can thoroughly recommend Agbrigg Chrome Platers in Leeds.

No connection just a very satisfied customer. They were recommended to me by and I'm happy to pass the recommendation on. The owner is Sean, and he is helpful and professional. The workshop is spotless. Prices are reasonable too. He quoted about a third less than the two chrome platers nearer to home and I cant fault his work.
