Cheers, was trying to find someone in Perth to do it but they all look at you funny.
Off to rad it goes.

Your right there Micko.  Probably cost about sixty thousand dollars also.  I rang a place in Perth the other day about re-anodizing two old YZ rims and was quoted $300. 
Cheers, Alex

Thanks for the heads up Rob, i will call them for a price when i build up my second wheel set.  I took my first wheel set rims up to Southern Powder coaters and they are blasting them and powder coating them gloss black for $20 for the pair. They are also only charging $20 for a set of hubs to be blasted and powder coated in satin black.

Check with Russ at Dynotime in Wangara - he recently sent my YZ fork leg off for me - it was a high build needed but a real good job.

Slightly off topic here.. but related to other posts here also..there is a guy in Landsdale (WA) that does anodising.. still a bit exy .. $100 a rim.. but was able to match old colour of Husky Nordisk rims perfectly.. a bit of a bear to deal with .. but well worth it in the end.. Brian at Camera Dynamics..9302 1316.. I  sand blasted the rims .. cleaned them up with a wire wheel. polished them on a pedestal buff.. I thought they looked. OK.. but still need to remnants of the anodising to be taken off with caustic..check him out..

Shock shaft off to Rad,  even rang me after I sent an email to him. That's personal service to start with.

RAD appear to be expensive up front but when you consider that the re-chromed fork tubes will last a lifetime then it's worth it.

[tymes]

Has anyone been quoted or charged for pitted fork tubes, how much did they charge?

[LWC82PE]

How much does RAD charge to do a set of forks that just have very minor little nicks/rust spots? I normally use www.hardchromeservices.com.au but i have some RM forks that i was not real keen on spending $400 on.

Example :
48mm KYB's with the axle lug's removed set me back $309.00 + $27.27 for FRT + GST of $33.64 comes to a grand total of $370.00 .
Shock shaft will come in at $100.00

Had my 73 YZ250A tubes done back 2007 by SA Hardchrome with an all up total of $300.00

Hope this helps
Rob.

Rad in Qld has done all my stuff, I'm in Melbourne.

Don't think you can beat RAD's work or service. Excellent operators, pitted or not & will even do an express service for not much more money. There's no such thing as "cheap" hard chroming that's done right.
