huggytree Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 (edited) Curious how much removing the chrome was? I was told once removing chrome on a gun so it would take park was wildly expensive Edited April 3 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APEXgunparts Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 We recently asked about removing chrome from guns. First return question from the shop was "what process was used to apply it" I still do not know how you figure out that detail! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 I remember $5-10,000 something shockingly high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxfaxdude Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 Total bill for this job was $6017. John said he had over 40 hours into the project and if my memory serves +$1800 was to remove the chrome plating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
