Welcome
to the nations best chrome plating solution for your bike. Performance
EDGE has been offering show quality "wet chrome" service to
customers/dealers across the US, and around the world, since 2003.
Chrome
plating aluminum has always been a tough task, due to the inconsistency
of aluminum content in which parts are made during the
"mold casting" process. With the proper preparation, and close attention
to detail, we can provide you with a superior chrome finish that looks
better, lasts longer, and produces a brilliant lustrous finish for your
parts.
Our
standard 5 layer chroming process for aluminum parts and wheels
consists of a chemical wash that strips the part free of paint and
finishes, then multi-step polishing process to remove imperfections,
chemical etching bath, nickel plating, copper plating, semi-bright
nickel plating, bright nickel plating, and finally a chrome layer
plating. All parts are polished after each layer of plating to ensure
that when the final layer of chrome plating is processed, your parts
look "wet". This is the name our first customers gave our chrome processing in 2002 as describing our process as: "the wettest
chrome around" and "liquid chrome".
As
with chrome, there is always a choice that's available that's less expensive.
You've heard before "you get what you pay for". This is also true when
it comes to chroming. "Less expensive" means shorter prep time, cutting
corners with polishing, and less frequent maintenance and chemical
changes in the plating tanks. The outcome? Chrome that
doesn't have the reflective qualities that you would expect, and reduced
longevity of the chrome plating is also common.
The proper prep, additional
polishing time, additional layers of plating,
routine maintenance on plating tanks, and frequent changing of the
plating solutions ensures that your parts turn out right the first time; with the best chrome adhesion properties with aluminum in the business.
As our customers have mention to their fellow riders to explain the quality of our work, "Its the best chrome out there, period".
