How do chrome aluminum?

Kawasaki 600 or 500?

Can't do it in your bathtub, but it certainly CAN be done. Chroming, if the piece is small enough, or as the other person mentioned, anodizing. I like the look of polished and clear anodized myself, or there is colored anodizing or powdercoating to consider too. Lots of options. What do you have in mind and whereabouts are you?

Activating of aluminium:

Is some one trying to tell me something??


The aluminium article should be cleaned in a non caustic cleaner,then given a light pickle in 10-25% sulfuric acid, then dipped for 30-60 seconds in a zincate bath(see formulation below). For best results the article should then be cyanide-copper plated(3-4 mins) then placed in the hard chrome bath with the current swiched on.

One thing to consider before you do this. What type of climate are you going to drive this vehicle in. If it is anywhere that salt is used on roads in the winter forget it. Those things will get eaten up and your chrome will look terrible. The unseen bead area sometimes starts first and then you get leaks as well. If you are in a relatively fair climate then go for it. It does look nice it that is what you are aiming to do.

You can, but you can get it polished so bright it looks just like chrome, and it wont peel. Buy some Simichrome polish and a ball polisher for your drill, or look up metal polishing in the phone book.
