True chrome plating requires several steps. There are two options with traditional chrome plating. The first would be a customer who currently has painted, machined, or polished wheels and would like to get them plated. The second involves someone who currently has chrome wheels and has curb damage. The chrome plating process starts with a stripping process. The wheel is then restored to repair any damages. The plating process continues with a chemical etching, Copper plating, buffing, bright nickel application, chrome solution, and final rinse. This process can take several days to complete.
