Default Chrome My Lowers?

I don't have the time to sand my lowers into mirror polished perfection like some here have done. I envy you, but know I'd probably just screw them up. I'm looking to replace my fork springs with Progressives and figured I should have the chroming done at the same time.

Looking for a chroming referral in the Dallas/Garland area.

Anyone?

I actually used paint stripper to remove the clear coat on the lowers and it polishes up nicely after that with just a polishing wheel and mother's. Obviously it could be a little better if I wet sand it a little, but it still looks good. Plus with the polished alluminum you can sand out any nicks from the road.

Check out my gallery. I have chromed lowers if that helps your decision any.

I'm planning to powdercoat the takeoff lowers from my '06 SB and would like to sell the chrome ones I have on now to finance the project. Send me an email if you're interested and I'll send you some photos of the chrome lowers.
