Qual Krom: The Seven Step Process
1) Inventory- Every order is inventoried and photographed
2) Parts Stripped- Old plating removed to bare metal and repaired
3) Surface Imperfections Removed- Using successively finer grit belts
4) Imperfections- Any major problems welded, straightened, or repaired
5) Polishing- Using polishing wheels, a mirror-like luster is created
6) Plating- Part is copper dipped, sanded, nickel dipped, and chromed
7) Final Inspection- Inventory is meticulously examined for quality, wrapped, packaged, and shipped
