If you want your Harley's exhaust pipes or hot rod's hubcaps to shine, what lustrous element, number 24 on the periodic table, do you need first?
Answer Chromium
Chrome electroplating applies a thin finish of nickel and chromium over the surface of another metal. When polished, this chrome surface has a deep shine, great durability and a unique bluish tint.
