where i live we have 2 platers...one would not touch it for less than 2500...that was for the chrome....polishing SS and doing some zinc or cad plating...
the other said he would polish the SS for anywhere from $8.00 per foot to $15.00per foot depending on the shape and if there were dings to remove...
as for the chrome from the second guy he said it would be cheaper to purchase repops...unless they parts were not available or tooooooo expensive...but he did quote me 150.00per vent to chrome...

If you get them plated look for someone you can personally deliver and pick up from --worth the potential problem-- as then they cannot blame the shipper for lost parts--i know this from experance --it's worth any extra bucks to not have to argue who lost missing parts--list the amount of parts and have them sign the invoice--just my 2 cents worth--glenn
