But if you had the means to do it yourself at home would you want to do it yourself? I would. Idk maybe ill try it as it could be quite usefull for future builds i have planned where there are lots of little parts that will need to be chromed. But my only concern is the durablity of the DIY kit.. how does it stand up compaired to full dipped parts? heres the link you can check it out yourself.

That looks pretty cool Aaron. Be sure and let us know how it works if you decide to get it. A lot of possibilities if you could do it yourself where as the cost of having it done might not be worth it for just a few small parts.
