Places that do chrome
 

I have a few things that I would like to re-chrome . I`m getting quotes from $50-150 per piece!

Anyone have a place that`s reasonable or is this the norm now?

Al's polishing shop in Ohio. I live in Maryland and have been using them for years.

Thats not bad these day... All the plating stuff has been hot so hard by regulations/epa stuff the rices have gpne thru the roof

Thats the average price for a good process. Copper, Nickel, & Chrome 5 layer total will get a brilliant finish. Cheaper can be done but will flake much sooner like the cleats in your pic.

That's actually cheap from what i've found around my house in Chicago/Ohare!

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.

Dan, those prices actually seem pretty good, I have a lot of chrome work done each year with the classic cars we restore and I can tell you from what I see that's not bad!
As said a few posts back the EPA has killed the plating industry, and forced the remaining venders to raise pricing to stay compliant..
