Fuel Rail

[cruzin33]

Im rebuilding and detailing my rb25det and im stuck at getting my fuel rail chromed or polished. Im not sure if chrome will just change colour due to the heat and if i get it polished il have to polish it all the time to keep the shine. Any help would be good

Cheers

Chrome should be fine, polish you will have to polish perhaps contact either dahtone racing or exquisit customs.

im pretty sure the rail is stainless steel, so shouldnt need as much polishing as alluminium.

You can also look at anodizing if you want something a little different. Contact http://www.anodizers.com/

You can anodise it unless its aluminum?! Perhaps craved is wrong? It is Aluminum? (note - can never spell it)

[PSI Parts]

I was just speaking generally, I didn't take into factor the type of material.

[DECIM8]

Well in that case you can spray it with anodisation paint? works on both

[Craved]

the RB26 i was working on today, its rail allowed a magnet to stick to it, so its not stainless or alloy.

they can be painted or powdercoated though - heres on i've done

That looks crazy^^

Im going to go chrome with my fuel rail would anyone know what temp chrome work can take?? im looking at doing my alternator and pulleys

[Dahtone Racing]

we chrome everything on our engine bays and don't have any issues with heat effecting the plating

[cruzin33]

might be a stupid question, but what is stronger chrome plating or ceramic coating and will all items need to be sandblasted before plating

pretty sure they will be blasted either way - either that or acid etched

What do you guys charge for chroming stuff? For example something like alternator housing or other little bits and pieces...

[Dahtone Racing]

depending on what it is and how complex it is to polish and plate

an alternator housing is around the $150 mark and we can throw in little bits and pieces for basically nothing

but for a more firm quote PM me and we can work something out

Hmm not to bad, ill have to get in touch with you in a little while.

Cheers mate.
