Al's is pretty good they are just a few miles from me and those prices are certainly within line, 100-150 each range. Theres actually a lot of finish work in older worn pieces. I have literally had hundreds possibly thousands of pieces chromed and the best i have used was Fini Finish up in Detroit but i dont believe they are still around.
Al's charged me $400.00 for all of these pieces for my 66 Donzi last year.
Best part I like about them is you send them the stuff and they send it back to you with a bill in the box. Now that's trust.

There`s no alternative correct? The powdercoating chrome doen`t look so nice that I`ve seen.
Not sure if they were not done correctly (probably not like everything else) but these pieces were peeling and bubbling after a year.
I`d rather not pay an arm and a leg for chrome only to have it peel again shortly.
My other option may be to polish and clearcoat .

I've used this shop in St Louis to chrome my Thru-Hull fittings, the price was fair with quality work.
