best chrome legs

[Epotech]

having bought new legs for WPC games in the past, I've been somewhat unhappy with the chrome. They look like they have dashed past the tank and barely been plated!
Who stocks decent WPC legs? I want chrome that would shame a 50's Caddy!

Have the old ones hard chromed might be better ?

It's an option but tricky finding a local platers that don't take months.

... or difficult to find a plater that doesn't want to charge the cost of 2x sets just to plate one set! Chrome plating is a REALLY expensive!

What about powder coating in a chrome finish ?

Try Pinball Centre in Germany. I can't vouch for their WPC legs but the Gottlieb legs I had from them were super shiny. They do 'mirror finish chrome': http://www.pinball.center/en/shop/p...egs/3092/pinball-leg-mirror-chrome-wpc-28-1/2

Bright nickel plating might be a lot cheaper. We use it at work.

I had a few things done bright nickel plated. Costs peanuts, and looks great!

Yup. Hard to distinguish between it and chrome. Nickel has a slightly yellower tinge but it is only really distinguishable when they are side by side.

Gone for the pinball center ones. I'll report back if they are any good.

Please do let us know! I've been thinking about replacing the legs on my TAF which are only a year old but look satin galvanised in finish.

 

[Epotech]

They're better. More chrome than satin. Worth the extra.

Nice. Will have to a set of these!
