Because every piece has to be cleaned and some have to be sanded before you get it chromed. You have to do the same things like you would if you were going to get something polished if you want to get a perfect chrome outcome. Anybody that has ever tried to polish a casted part knows that its a PITA and very time consuming.

 

[GeneStarWindGSW]

Well those prices are really good actually. i've seen the process people go through to that they have to go to sandblast the item to clean it, then if they polish it (that takes hours) and then to chrome it remember they need to get all the materials to do it. It's just a process that takes time hence why its got pricey.

any imperfections in the surface will show through the chrome...
