FLASH CHROME, SHINING

Actually I am operating the hard chrome plating, but some of my customers are require me to do some flash chrome for them. But results are not so good because not too shining, can you all help me? thanks

Hi Frankie. 'Flash' does not have any exact meaning--it simply means a thin coat. A flash of chrome directly on steel will not create much (if any) shine. You probably need to nickel plate before the chrome plating. Good luck.
