Wellness check?
Any member near Norfolk, Va that can do a check on a Plating business at 3300 Chesapeake Blvd.? It’s Royal Silver Mfg. A white bldg with chain link fence around parking lot, right by the railroad track. Concerned about Mack and not getting calls answered, nor notification to pick up chromed parts for too long. Any help appreciated. Think they only open M thru F.

I went by there today since I was on that end of town, which I rarely am.
Since I, too, need a plater, I stopped in. There were three cars parked in customer spots, and a few cars parked in what appeared to be employee spots.
Seemed like a nice family-owned business. There was a customer at the counter asking about getting some H-D bike parts plated. The guy behind the counter said it would take several weeks, as they had a lot of work in front of him. The customer said he didn't need the parts before September.
I didn't need to ask if he did chrome bumpers, since there were several in the front room including a set of C2s. He said they were on their way to Florida.
He quoted me a ballpark price for a set of four C2 bumpers at around $1200 total, depending on condition.
I came away favorably impressed, and I will probably take my bumpers there eventually.

Glad to know Mack is still kicking. You can trust his work. It's the best I've found near Virginia. Guess he's just been too busy to answer the phone, or maybe it's changed from the one on the invoices. Take the time to speak with Mack. You'll find him interesting!
If you picked up a phone number, PM me. I may just have a wrong one.
