Vickerman's Chrome

We plate cool stuff!

Hi! I'm Chuck Vickerman and I run a little Chrome Plating shop in South Beloit IL. We've been around for over 50 years, don't advertize much and don't have any signs on our building.  Our address is covered by shrubbery and I'm just happy as hell you found us.       We do Show Chrome. Well, maybe not on every piece of crap somebody wants restored, but on most stuff we do.      We plate small orders. Most of our work is collector car trim and motorcycle restoration, but we Chrome everything from doorknobs to boat hardware.       We also do hard chrome.  Our specialty is plating cutting tools. It makes them slippery enough to cut aluminum, plastics and other sticky stuff.       We have five employees on days when everybody shows up. Our tanks can accomodate anything up to nine feet long that two guys can lift.       Come on in and muck around the website. I drone on at length about Hard and Decorative Chrome and  explain what we do to plate pot metal when restoring old cars. We have a Shop Floor page that has an interesting hodgepoge of parts that have been restored and plated.                                                                  Chuck
