Flaking chrome

[b16gnr]

i have just noticed a large piece of chrome plate has flaked off my alloy can it be fixed or will it need to be re-chromed? Which I would rather avoid as it is very expensive

In the interim, you could mask off the area and hide it with 'chrome in a rattle can'. Won't be anywhere perfect but wouldn't catch the eye near as much.

Or maybe a small piece of Chrome Vinyl wrap to cover it up.

But if you wish to restore the finish permanently then I would say you would need to have the whole rim re-chromed. It is an Electroplating process and therefore you would probably need the wheel stripped right back to bare metal for the whole process to start again.

Thanks chaps I will probably mask it off and spray as I could probably get a second hand set for the price of getting it re-chromed
