Well, I talked to several plating companies and metal finishers. They all said as long as the chrome os good chrome, it won't hurt it. Their definition of good chrome was basically centered around wether or not the metal had been nickel plated, copper plated, or both. One guy said on exhaust, if it isn't bluing, the chrome os pretty good. So.....I did it. It looks pretty good. It is real overcast now, but I will get some pics up ASAP....

Cool, my guess is you can buff it back if you wanted? I think the sample section looked good - looking forward to the pix.
