Hard Chrome Question

Contender · May 3, 2001, 07:58 PM

Hello All,

Is it possible to have one of the Industrial Hard Chrome (SSK, MagnaLife, etc.) finishes applied to say, a Contender barrel that has been sand blasted and blued already? Or would it have to be polished again first?

Thanks!

You can hard chrome it, the sand blasted finish on your barrel will give it a matte look when done. Sand blasting prior to hard chroming or electroless nickel is pretty common. -- Kernel
