Chkoolaid1 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Bought a handful of beavers over the weekend, guy through in an old rack. The chrome is in rough shape (pictured below), is there a cheap way to make it presentable again? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotthead Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 We put ospho on them and paint them black. You can buy ( we did) a gallon of prep and etch at home depot for $15, it is supposed to do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BouncyBalls Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Sand blast to bare metal is the other option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Home depot also has a self etching primer. I would imagine that would do it? Just use black. Chrome from my experience goes to quickly, shows more dirt, and after about 6-10 months looks worse than black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chkoolaid1 Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 I'd defiently would prefer to have it black. Easiest way is my preferred option. I'm gonna head to Home Depot this weekend, thanks for the help guys! I'll post a picture when it's done!

Jarred767 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 If you decide to keep it chrome, try some metal polish and super fine steel wool (0000). It works quite well depending on how bad the chrome has gotten. I detail cars for my main income and it's my go-to on chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainor5251 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I sanded and primed with self etching spray paint then painted mine with black appliance paint. They have held up quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
