madmonkee 0 Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 electroless nickle looks exactly like chrome. But we dont ever chrome plate aluminium at our place, only steels and bronze bushes. We Anodise aluminium and hard anodise but never heard of chromed ally...... Link to post Share on other sites
madmonkee 0 Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 also if you really polish ally it will go like a mirror! Very tasty, gives the look of being chromed. Link to post Share on other sites
