    How much heat can chrome take

    I had my turbo housing in to get polish then I got it back they chrome it by mistake,
    Should I have them strip it off and polish it like I asked?

    Chrome definitely holds in the heat. Send it back and get what you paid for.

    What about it peeling and changing color, like turning bluish from the heat?
