Dichromating
Dichromating restores stripped-down carburetor parts to their
factory-original appearance. This is the exact gold/brown finish
which appeared on many standard and performance models
over the years.
Upon arrival at the Custom Shop, carburetor castings are
immediately entered into a unique tracking system that all but
eliminates the chance of a part becoming lost or being returned
to the wrong customer. In fact, parts are also photographed
to avoid any look-alike problems.
After going through a series of extensive cleanings, each casting
sports a smooth, even dichromate coating that is indistinguishable
from a new carb in every respect, including color.
Besides Holley models, the Custom Shop services Rochester, Carter
and other brands as well, both two and four-barrel units. And all
work performed by the Custom Shop is covered under a limited
warranty and is guaranteed to live up to its expectations.
Like color powder coating, plating does not interfere with the original
design of a part. In fact, it helps by providing extra protection
against damage, thus extending the lifetime of the part. Whichever
plating you choose, it's sure to be a hit.
