Absolutely beautiful. Seeing this labor intensive process, it is understandable why chrome plating is expensive. That doesn't even consider the HazMat costs associated with operating with all the chemicals involved.
Amazing, the technicians must feel proud when they have finished a product each time 😉👌
I have a hard time just lifting a spare tire out of my trunk. This man does this all day long with rims twice the size as mine, amazing.
Just got to be a man!
Its ok to be a man dont listen to your school teachers
Nice to see a video on how chrome plating works. Good job lamberto
Thanks for showing us your plating shop. Very cool! Most places would never show their shop in fear of, well... the fear-mongers. -People that live in fantasy land that believe the whole world should be like their sterile little office cubicle.
I'm looking to have my wheels re-plated. Looking forward to giving you guys a call very soon!
Did plating for 12 years. A lot of custom parts for show cars and bikes. It’s very labor intense. Polishing after copper is the trick.
Just had my motorcycle wheels swing arm clutch cover and clutch cover elbow done by these guys pics looks great prices are amazing
Beautiful job, thanks for sharing
That was the best video . Well done mate !

Ive been in the plating business for 35 years and never heard someone falling into a tank ever. Even if some did fall into a tank, all plating facilities have a safety protocol and emergency showers for protection of personnel. The tanks are heated but not boiling. Yes, plating is an aggressive industrial procedure. And all precautions are used for the the safety of people and enviroment.
He didn't have safety glasses on
I know chrome plating. Been doing it 25 years for some of the biggest feed screw companies in the world
Haha these ppl worried about falling in. I never heard of that but I bet it has happend. They should be worried about all the different acids we deal with like hydroflouric acid. As well as many others. There's a lot of nasty stuff in plating. They also might be interested in the fact gold platers deal with cyanide and have to be really attentive in a shop with cyanide and hydrochloric acid. Because the two mixed create the famous death chamber gas. Once that gas is let off you're dead in 30 to 45 mins and the fire Department is the only one with the anecdote. Usually they only have so many shots. Its a crazy job. Thats why I wrap cars now. I live in AZ and summers in a plating shop arr ridiculous at 5 in the morning within seconds your drenched with sweat. And steaming tanks and fumes. Kinda shitty. But I do love to plate.
Do U have a number I want to get my rims gold
Can you powder coat over chrome like a two tone and not damaged the chrome in the process
Those copper wheels where off a 3rd gen Escalade. I love those wheels!
Nice!!!
Wild!!
The copper looks cool
Magnifique!
Whatever shrinks those rims at 1.40 is insane!
MÜKEMMEL🔥🔱💯💪
Nice vid
concordo com vc,...antes de tudo eu já tinha gostado do momento em que a roda teve a camada de cobre!!!!
Good job
amazing
good job...!
Bravo !!!!! Respect !!! Very nice job !!! 💪👍🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷👌👌👌👌👌
JUST GOT MY WHEELS CHROMED FOR MY VTX 1800 C,I WAS A BIT CURIOUS HOW IT WAS DONE.I USED SPORT CHROME AND THEY CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL.THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.
yeah they are the best, we know them
Rules60 how much does this cost?
Bad ass brother
That shynny copper color looks really nice
Where can I get the cooper looking rims from ??? Can I send them some wher
I used to work in a factory where they had a chrome plating department. I know that working in an area like that can be very hazardous to one's health. The vats the factor had were very large and a person could fit and I actually remember someone who fell in.
verry nice
incredible! ..please wear safety glasses! love the video
Looks very expensive, it is. I did have many polished steel roses I made chrome plated and sold them for Valentine's/Single Awareness day in order to buy a mandrel bender to make race car roll cages and they were GORGEOUS!!! I still have one of the plated roses 20 years later...
i like the copper look of the rim
Good work plating process I am form precious chemicals engineer
Good one Alicia.
Mantap Mr Bro...👍👍👍
Awesome
It makes the chrome wheel new
Yes, this process is copper, nickel, chrome.
The first wheel you see is copper plated. The second one is nickel plated, which he then puts it into the chrome solution.
The gold coating is purely the chrome solution itself and is not a cosmetic alternative.
Hope this helps :)
So basically its acid clean, rinse, plate and repeat? Until you’ve coated with copper nickel and chromium
1 word.... nice
I worked in a chrome shop once. I was a buffer, I put the metal through the sand and polishing wheels to get them ready for the tanks. Its not an easy job.
Hardest job !
WOW . I want to learn this
nice !
Metal Plating and handle\ing is an aggressive procedure , all tanks are lined with thick plastic liners and what you hear as banging is the tooling rack. this rack (the tool that is holding the wheel) serves as a bumper to protect the wheel
I was surprised to see how natural and not chemical the process was.
yes, metal plating is an aggressive process - but note, the tanks are made of plastics and / or have a heavy duty liner. we process 300 wheels a day and what you hear does not damage the wheels.
Bravo
hi guys . nice work
important . when working with acid and caustic solutions
fold the last 2-3 inches of your gloves back over its self .
this creates a large V where acids / liquids get caught/pool rather than running down your glove and off the back . and when you lower your hand it runs back out .
Sugoi!!
Finally someone wearing an actual COVID mask and not a sock for a muzzle
Nice
Wish they have made some for quads in 10 inch front and 8 inch rear that be awesome to look at quads
damn that shine is preety
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 sensacional
Thank you very much.

Caramba massa sempre tive interesse em aprender isso. Se derem oportunidade esto aqui vlw.
coooooool i want to get my head chromed
flexibel chrome i guess
so that it fitts the balls ha ha
steveothehulk it's empty so I guess it isn't too hard to do it.
Shop is in Santa Ana, CA, USA ... Where there are people who work hard in the PLATING industry. YOU should see what hard work metal polishing is. We got a video on that too. The La Habra shop polished 700 to a 1000 wheels a day.
I always wondered why Chrome so expensive it's the steps man that last 1was really shinny😎
I worked in a chrome shop for 33 yrs its dangerous smelly and the last guy in the video no safety glasses a big no no and the EPA can shut you down anytime
sice chromový kola nemusím, ale kouká se na to hezky, když se to dělá... ;)
omg, many process
We have the air cleaning system available - fume scrubbers and hepa filters. These are check weekly and monthly. We do a smoke test and document with pictures the results. All documents are submitted to Air Quality Agency.
Yea! Crome rules!
super beaux comme chrome
muito bom otimo
metal finishing a definitely an aggressive process and does have metal finishing sounds. But note that all the tanks are make of plastic and or lined with a plasitc liners. Even though aluminum is considered a soft metal, aluminum alloy - this metal can handle grinding, polishibg and plating procedures. If aluminum handles rotation on the road, freeway, and supporting your vehicle...it can handle metal finishing.
Yeah dog when it comes to polishing nuts , I'm good at that too
CHROME PLATING PROCESS - Dip, Wash, Dip, Wash, Dip Wash..... Any one can chrome plate. Is this all we need to know. Thanks for all that great information.
Really you can? I know alot of idiots that couldn't. And he went wash rinse nickel plate. Rinse chrome.
tiiiiight
Metal finishing is an aggressive process and yes there is noise in the procedure. No wheel is damage because the tanks have a protective liner and or made of plastic.
I would love to see them make the big rims like 28s & up
