Why would you put chrome on a 4x4 in the first place.

You can chrome ally. I've had it done.
The problem is with the condition of the ally as to the quality of the finish and its durability. Have a word with a chrome plateing company to get the real story.

there is a method called zincate dip. for ally. its expensive and no gaurantee of success. its difficult to do well.
alternatively, try this!

It was 30 odd years ago somewhere in Leeds. I'd trashed the engine up on my Bonnie and got a replacement engine. It was the T140 Jubilee which had chrome casings, the primary chanecase was missing so I got a standard ally one and had it chromed along with the fork legs which were also ally.
Try the yellow pages (electro platers), there are five places in Hull so I imagine there will be plenty in more civilized places.
