Default Looking for a good chrome plating shop.

Can anyone recommend a quality chrome plating shop that they have used in the past?

There are many out there... I guess it depends on where you live? Since you didn't give this info and there is nothing in your profile this will never be solved...

so there is one in San Jose California i know of that does great work if your interested in shipping parts?

aaahhhhh... Ok, thats accross the country from me....Can't help there.

If nobodys knows of one then ask around with the body shops.... thats how i found mine. Body shops are your best bet to find the good ones because they have to have great results or the customer is not happy.

Good Luck,
Jim

Yep. They did an awesome job on the sidepipe covers on my 69. Makes the original chrome look like a shlock job....

I've used this place for some custom Harley parts, they did awesome work. I live in CNY so had to ship the parts but wasn't that bad (unless you have some big parts).
