Our services are provided from our workshops at Lonsdale in Southern Adelaide and utilised by serious car and bike restorers Australia-wide, including many show winners, car and bike club members and other enthusiasts who simply care about quality chroming of their car or motorcycle parts.

Preserve, enhance, protect…

As they say “they don’t make cars (or motorcycles) like they used to”. Preservation of originality is important to many of our customers, particularly enthusiasts who show their vehicles. It can be important to them to have the support and expertise of expert craftsmen to ensure the best possible results. We know how much work goes into a full restoration and we aim to ensure our role in your project delivers long lasting and quality results.
A Class is familiar with traditional methods for chrome plating as well as newer technologies for pre-treating or finishing and can utilise all these to complete a job to the standards you require.  We also offer genuine chrome plating of plastic parts which offers a wide scope of enhancement alternatives for custom makeover projects.
