Torque and Chrome

What is chrome plating and how does it work also this chrome spray on.?

I have wrecked an A arm on my snowmobile and it costs like 500 dollars for a chrome one but a black one cost only 125. Could I chrome plate or spray on the black one and make it look as good as the other A arm on my snowmobile. I need this fixed quick

1. You could have one plated. The "spray on" chrome does not last or look as good as having the real thing.
2. chrome plating is applied electrically, kind of like welding but with a much thinner coating. Elecroplating is the name of the process and it is not cheap. I imagine a snowmobile a arm could be plated for less than $100 at a local plater. That would be much cheaper than the 375 dollar difference you are talking about. It is a toy, why bother with the way it looks? the chrome part will resist rust better than the black one, but is that really much a concern? its not like it will rust that badly if it is painted
3. nope go for the black for the rest of the season ,you got all summer to fixer up.
