cost to recrome air cleaner

[Edward Zeliesko]

whats the average cost to re crome a large air cleaner, its crome now, needs freshen up ??

I'm just guessing, but Tri City Plating would probably want a minimum of $400 to rechrome the filter.

I would try inquiring at a local motorcycle shop where they recommend chroming small parts. I'm not too sure if its just a local thing but we have a small chroming shop in my area that mainly deals with motorcycle part chroming and they are cheaper than the big guys.

Something else to think about is Chrome Powder Coating. It won't be as shiny as chrome but, it might be cheaper and easier depending on your location.

I checked into Spectra and another brand of "chrome" painting years ago and at that time it was more expensive than the real thing. Still an option.

Powder chrome has made lots of advances in forty years but it still doesn't replicate a good old triple-plated chrome job.
It will be most noticeable if you have real chrome visually near it (such as a chromed master cylinder cover) but you can squeak by otherwise.
I rarely shoot it except as an accent color but here's an old 2011 pic of @waggin's dad's 273 air cleaner I had the honor of restoring for them to help your visual.
