Title: Rechroming Post by: daddy2yea on September 18, 2009, 04:10:27 PM Has anybody had their slot machine or video poker door re-chromed? If so how much does it cost? Also any ideas on how to touch up where the chrome has flaked off. Thanks PS First post.

One option might be simply sand the area smooth if there is damage. Quite often there is damage on the top right of the cabinet where people would "break" rolls of quarters or on on the button deck where the hand would rub just below the spin button. Then use a crome paint followed by some spray varnish.
