Metal trim, whether on a car, pickup truck, tractor, or motorcycle (to name a few), is the vehicle's "bling," and as such, it must be cleaned and polished properly for it to look its best.Aluminum and steel can be polished, chromed, anodized, powder-coated, plated or painted, but for the finish to last, it has to be applied properly. Fortunately, How To Plate, Polish and Chrome: Anodizing, Plating, Painting, Polishing, Tools, Techniques shows you how to do each, and do it right.
First you must decide what finish you want. That will tell which tools are required. Only then the actual work begins by preparing the surface for the desired finish.
All of these finishes can be done at home, and How To Plate, Polish and Chrome details the steps involved. However, large jobs are better left to professionals who have the right equipment and experience to do the job right.
But, regardless of who does the job, How To Plate, Polish and Chrome: Anodizing, Plating, Painting, Polishing, Tools, Techniques will give you the information you'll need to insure it is done right.
