Chrome on Tri-five Chevy

when looking at the suppliers, most will sell "GOOD" which is not bad looking chrome. as well they will list "SHOW QUALITY" or "BEST" which is very good looking. Chrome for the Tri 5 should be Tripple plated, Brass - Nickel then Chrome. Some places do Nickel - Nickel then Chrome which usually is not as shinny or smooth. As well this only refers to the actual Chrome, which are the heavy parts on the car. All the lighter trim would be Stainless Steel, not chrome. To improve the look of the Stainless it needs to be polished with a high speed Lambs wool wheel, either with a grinder or hand held device like a drill, (just not to fast or hard to burn it).

just a correction to my last post. it is actually Copper first not Brass, my bad. as well some guys ask for triple chrome dipped after the regular process to improve the shine. i have read posts where people bought new "show quality" chrome & did not like the lack of shine and ended up re-chroming to match the rest of the car. sometimes it is cheaper to redo the existing chrome you have.
