First off; there seem to be some methods of electro-plating that are hazardous mainly from the chemicals involved but I saw this thread and it sounds like there have been some "home electro-plating" kits sold as well.

Thought this might be helpful to some.
I lost the website but I think there was some place in the UK that just specialized in re-chroming a fork.
Also, discuss any other methods of chroming or other methods to handle chrome if one cares to. It does not seem very practical to try to match chrome with paint; it just doesn't seem to work.
The link was tested and seems to be working. Should the link stop functioning, it is in the Classic and Vintage discussion area.
