The tank was in a bad state for sure but Alan said that he could repair and re-chrome it for us and I was glad to hear that because it saved the original petrol tank for the full restoration of the Velocette Venom that we are doing for our customer which has been in their family for a very long time. This is why we have been using Marque Restore for the last 15 years, on all our chrome work. Everything is done to the highest standard and we wouldn't use anyone else! Thanks once again guys. Great to see the full process. Mark Newsome - Tanks Classics Ltd Velocette Restorations
Just amazing. Thanks for your honesty, not lying, not hiding and not braking - just telling. Thanks to your very skilled workers, who let us know why chroming are a special craft, and why It is so expensive. I love your videos. Allan, Denmark
@@ChromeandCarRestoration Thank you! It remains to raise the level of the restorations themselves to the level of the video and it will be exactly what I envisioned.)
So how are you going to cope with 2tier wanting to ban chrome plating due to enviroment issues. Fun fact i ised to tig weld led and what your doing is an art form and a rare to see now nice job. How true was it david bowie had a fully chrome mini and how tiem involed would have that been and what woulf the weight of ot be ❤❤
Woah, a lot of questions there. Chrome was banned from 1st July 2023. You must have special authorisation to carry on, we do. The famous David Bowie mini did not have chromed bodywork, it was wrapped in a 'chrome like' metallic wrap. Press were a bit misleading in how it was described.

Glad you enjoyed it
A brilliant video - I have an identical tank on my 1956 Venom
Thanks. Nice bike you have got.
I'm so glad I've discovered this channel. I wish I could come and help out.
Thanks for watching
This tank will last for about 50 more years man, nice work
Hey up mate this is beautiful work great to see a true craftsman applying there trade, rare these days unfortunately
Thanks 👍
@@ChromeandCarRestoration no worries mate but please pass it on to them, any idea of a ball park cost out of interest
Fantastic result from what could have been a candidate for the scrap heap!
It very nearly was scrap.
@@ChromeandCarRestoration I could see that it was nip and tuck with the thinness of the one area. Great work saving it.
Copper and chroming is the easy part.
Part a few people can do is repairs and polishing. Good job.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Well done, I am surprised the brackets were not burned ?
Well spotted, you are obviously familiar with chrome.
I think repair with lead will last longer than the common polyester putty, am I wrong?
You are correct, also it needs to be metal so we can electroplate it.
