How to Restore The Chrome On A Vintage 65 Year Old Motorcycle Fuel Tank: Step-by-step

This motorcycle gas tank / petrol tank was sent to us, as the owner had been told it was too bad, and the chrome could not be restored. Always up for a challenge, we took it on as we were confident we could do it. It was especially important to restore it as the motorcycle belonged to his late father and the owner was restoring it to it's former glory.

This tank is from a Velocette Venom motorcycle from 1955. It was very satisfying to be able to bring it back to life.
