I am not familiar with that place, but quality chrome plating has become scarce as the EPA has cracked down on platers because of the solutions required. Always see finished examples before hiring a plater. The last chrome plating we used actually was done in Mexico, and sold through a dealer in Southern California.

Looking for a plater in SoCal. Could you post the dealer your are referring to and how was the quality, price, etc?

Mine was done by The Bumper Boyz. I couldn't find the address, but it is likely online. Excellent quality at a very reasonable cost.

Here is a thread about the Boyz. Lots more on other forums as well. Glad your experience worked out but for many others, not so.

Precision Plating in Quincy Ill. I've had them do several jobs both big and small and their quality has been excellent. They always seem to be busy

Custom metal finishing in Indiana did excellent work for me. They are pretty booked up,but rhey will tell you turn around time. Good work,not cheap.

I had some pieces to mask the threads and they did. Followed my instructions.
