Recommendation for chrome plating

[289FIA_Cobra]

Anyone know of a good plater in the area. Preferrabley Santa Clara but if they're really good, I'll consider anywhere else in the bay area.
So far I found 2:

Valley Plating in Santa Clara
Superior Chrome in San Jose

-TIA

There's a place in Richmond. I believe its called Electro Plating.

Herman,
I was price shocked at a quote I got from a plating shop here in Hayward that I went out of state to get some stuff done. Kerr West Plating in AZ is who I used and their price was much easier on the wallet, even with shipping.

Herman,

I've used Superior. They did a great job and were pretty fast. Not necessarily cheap, though but I guess you get what you pay for and from what they told me the part needed a lot of prep work - it did turn out really well and I would use them again.

I'd call Ron... He had the best prices around for ceramic coating and polishing... He does great work. Not sure if he does chrome but I am sure he can refer you to someone who does if not. My sidepipes came out great.

I used the shop Ween is talking about in Richmond. It's very good. It's pretty close to the Richmond side of the Richmond/San Rafael Bridge. Had my side pipes done there. (Thanks Big Iron)

What are you having chrome plated?

[289FIA_Cobra]

Thanks everyone.
Both roll bars are to be chromed. I did find another place in Santa Clara, Valley Plating, so between them and Superior, and outside the valley,the Belmont shop and the place up in Richomnd, I'm covered in the SF Bay Area.

Don't forget the H-B cruise in next month. I just registered on the FFR site.

what do they charge for plated roll bars?

[289FIA_Cobra]

*EDIT* Reviewed the invoice (@work)

Robert:
just dropped off the bars on Monday; total is $590.94. Essentially, $290 for hoops, $190 for 3rd-legs, and $50 for paint removal plus tax.

Find someone who has had work done. There is nothing worse than after a year or two you have to go back and do it all over again.

I use Paul's Plating out of PA. He does alot of hot rod and custom work, and he does it right.

While "chrome wheels" were popular in the late 50's and 60's, they are not "old school" looking on a roadster. However, they are super-easy to maintain, look really sharp with any paint, and compliment chrome roll bar and chrome sidepipes.

Serpent Expresss is an agent for a company that specializes in just chrome plating wheels.
