Does anyone do their own prep work prior to re-chroming?

Hi all,

Funds are running low and I still have the whole front & rear of the chrome to be done. I was going to talk to the chromer to see if he would work with me on me doing the prep work.

So after he removes the chrome layer, I was going to take over with the buffing down and more importantly, filling all of the pits with solder.

Does anyone out there do their own prep work? I realize that the chromer may not warranty the work, but, I'm not sure what the warranty would be anyway.

I know that it sounds like I'm being cheap. But I figure that I may take more care and time than a shop. I realize that I would need practice. ...and I have enough spare parts to practice on.

I'm just looking for feedback, and someone to tell me that I'm nuts.

Thanks,

Mark
