Physics question

[Richard McDonel]

I have a used set of early 240 hub caps.  Pretty sound, but with the inevitable  faded and scratched paint, and bubbling chrome.  I'd like to have them refinished, but with the metal being as thin as it is I'm wondering if a re-chroming will any way affect the spring quality of the tabs that connect to the wheels?  

Anyone been there and done that?

Thanks

I would think they where already ones chromed and it didn't affect the springs.. for as far i know the chrome procedure isn't making it very hot or so.. but ask the chrome-guy/firm of your choice! He should know..

First undo the laquer, then get them unchromed, then sand polish as necessary and rechrome and finally repaint them, but i bet you knew that already!  😉
