Neuverchroming, or chroming, is a process that coats metal surfaces with a thin chrome layer, enhancing objects with a glossy and durable charm. It’s commonly used on car parts, household items, and industrial products.
Cost: The expense of new chroming depends on what’s being chromed and the quality. Single auto parts like wheels or bumpers cost between €50 and €300 on average. Chroming an entire vehicle can range from €1,000 to multiple tens of thousands.
Caution:
Chroming is often performed using electrolytes and high electric currents, posing risks such as electric shocks, fire hazards, and environmental harm. It’s recommended to have professionals oversee the process.
Alternatives: For smaller items or those without metal surfaces, alternative methods like chromed painting or plastic/polymer coatings are available. These options are cheaper and safer but not as durable as real chroming.
