Black Chrome

Guys,
Has anybody had an item plated in Black Chrome?
I have a couple of items that I want done so I am looking for a shop that does it. I live in Cleveland, Ohio but I can ship the parts.
All comments and shop recommendations are appreciated.

I did a "google search" and came up with Bend Plating. I have no idea how good, bad, or reasonable they are but it may be helpful to read about the available services when deciding who to trust your parts to.

I also did a google search. Most were high production run shops geared for OEMs or industrial.

Yes, but I want to do my air cleaner lid so I need it to be perfect.
Dupicolor also has a "shader" system that looked interesting. But, that is intended mostly for wheels.

Have you thought of using gun bluing or gun finishing products? I have used various Birchwood Casey and Brownell's gun finish products on fasteners and small parts and have gotten great results that hold up to abuse. Just a thought....
