Services
U. S. Chrome has been in the precision plating business since 1940. In the past 80+ years, we have been global pioneers in cylinder plating, as well as repairing and improving many different materials and geometries. We were the first company in the world to successfully electroplate onto aluminum substrates.
US Chrome's NiCom coating is comprised of a proprietary composite, primarily nickel and silicon carbide, with other hardening and lubricity agents. We create our cylinder coating with these two composites for their renowned hardness and wear resistant properties. The minute particle size (which averages three microns) makes our Nicom cylinder plating composite 100% non-abrasive.
Thank you for choosing U.S. Chrome! We are no longer accepting non-dealer orders. If you are not a licensed powersports dealer, your parts will not be repaired and they will be shipped back at your expense. Our cylinder plating shop's specialists are consistently setting the gold standard in innovative cylinder plating technology.
To maintain accuracy and customer satisfaction US Chrome now requires ALL customers to include a work order form with each cylinder order. Order forms ensure accuracy of each order and communication between customers and US Chrome. Cylinders sent without work order forms will be delayed until we contact you for specifications.
Due to the immense interest in partnering with our cylinder bore repair shops, U.S. Chrome has included a dealership application form directly on our website. This application enables dealers across the country to provide their customers with NiCom cylinder plating.

I had read reviews that showed they do quality work. This I cannot comment on. However the customer service is lack luster at best. I called in January to confirm that a 659cc raptor cylinder could be bored and honed to 686cc (100mm to 102mm bore). The price was more than fair and lead time was quoted at 6 weeks, so I filled out the order form and sent my cylinder and piston in for the work. The parts arrived first week of February. I spent the time and effort to instapak my parts to ensure they wouldn’t be damaged in shipping and assumed it would be returned in the same order. After 6 weeks

I sent a cylinder to be bored and replated for my 1004 Arctic Cat triple. Asked if they could port match with one of my other cylinders, they said yes. All they did was replate and bore and charged me another $130 to match port but did nothing. Had to have someone else match port the cylinder, what a rip off! I would not recommend them for these services

The cylinder is top notch quality! customer service not so much. Paid to have studs removed which were stripped out and returned? I also had to contact them to check when it would be done. They took about what they said.. 2 weeks.

I really wanted to like this company but this is the 4th time I have sent cylinders for an 09 ski doo 800r back to them because the ones they keep sending me are not useable. The first ones I got had a bolt broken off in the intake part of the head so I sent them back for a replacement. The second set they sent me had a crack in the exhaust port on one side that went all the way to the edge of the cylinder wall, I did not want to run those because I was worried after some heat cycles the crack would open up. I called scott the manager and he was great to deal with and sent me out a replacement

Scott the owner hooked me up with redoing a cylinder and power valve on a 1998 yz250 a couple years ago. This was my first top end and they helped me be successful, did an awesome job, and bike has been a blast ever since. Highly recommend. Customer service was great and answered all my questions.

I contacted Scott about a Polaris Dragon 800 with a blown top end. Scott was very knowledgeable and helpful, we discussed different options and decided on the best way to proceed. I was able to get everything I needed from US Chrome at a great price. The sled now runs perfectly and I have no concerns about the durability of this motor. I will only use US Chrome for my cylinder needs, I’ve done 3 top ends with their help and have never has any issues. I highly recommend US Chrome, you just can’t get better service and quality anywhere. No doubt the best in the business!

Really disappointed in the service. The price was more than it claims by a lot and it’s been almost a month and I still haven’t gotten everything I paid for. The manager couldn’t even return my call or tell me where my pistons were. One of the cylinders appears to have small pits in the coating as well. Overall a terrible experience.
