Actually, there are plenty of chromers around. The chrome process is as follows....Clean, polish,copper plate,nickel plate,chrome plate,done.....The nickel plating is the "bond" for the chrome, the copper is the "bond" for the nickel, and you can just about copper plate anything......Chrome is not clear, it is chromium, a very hard shiny metal. But it needs a perfect bond. Most poor chrome comes from not using the 3-step process using the 3 different metals. The cheap chromers use only nickel and chrome, not a good bond. The EPA and local governments are banning the use of Cyanide (sp), which is used to clean the object to be plated.......
