I'll need to know the make and model of the chrome, with pictures.

What kind of custom bike is a Trombone?

Tangent:
Has anyone tried that Titanium Nitride coat for slide? Hcoat? Would these materials be suitable or even superior to chrome?

Bloke strikes again.

Doesn't Anderson do chrome? If not them, what about Allied/Getzen?

No, they farm it out. Chrome on bumpers is a fifteen to twenty second flash over twenty minutes of nickel. Bone slides need a bit more chrome and that can be a problem for some shops that are not set up for this type of structural plating. I have a local shop that can do the job but to be honest, because I have not been happy with any of the shops I have had do work for me on inside slide tubes, I prefer to strip the chrome and prep the tubes myself. I have the local boys do the nickel plate. I will then knock out a proper fitting arbor on my lathe and hone the nickel plated stockings straight, smooth and round. The results are quite satisfactory and a lot less costly.

DIY with something from Caswell?

Not for something like inside slide tubes. I like Dan's idea. I would like to see how those "feel."
