Default Replating 56 rear tail light assemblies

I am looking for some feedback & recommendations on who I could possibly send a pair of original 56 assemblies too and have them replated.

Thanks,
Rob

Everybody I've seen have trouble shooting the plating down in the recess where the lens attaches. The rpros for these are pretty nice and probably about the same price as rechrome. Repros aren't perfect either.

Either Paul's Chrome or Librandi's (can't remember which) has special anodes they made specifically for plating '56-'57 taillight bezels to get an even "throw" all the way to the back of the casting.
