Anyone have a referral for a good chrome plater for CL77 pipes?

Chrome Plater

I used Triangle Plating in St. Louis but these guys http://www.paulschrome.com/ advertise on My Classic Car. I've not used them but heard good things about them.

Good luck,

Most platers will want you to remove any carbon deposits from pipes or mufflers before they will touch them. Browns will do pipes if they can plug each end rather than clean them out.

I've had pretty good luck with Leonard's Plating in St. Albans, WV. Mark is pretty accomodating and a nice guy to do business with. He did two CB160 mufflers for me after I had them hot tanked and I'm very happy with them. He does not do triple chrome. He does decorative chrome, which is what Honda used. No copper plating.

They do not over-polish and elongate holes and such. Prices are excellent. Turn around is pretty quick to.

Tell Mark that Rob from NY sent you. I want this guy to stay in business for a long time.

Google Leonard's Plating in St. Albans, WV and you will find a phone number.

regards,
Rob
