Hey Guys,
Chrome is not cheap anymore. It used to be very resonable. I was told by a chrome plater that the price of nickel has went up significantly, thats the main reason for the jump in price. I now use HANLON CHROME PLATING in RICHMOND, Va. They are an old school type of business with anj old factory in business for a long time. I have found these guys to be the most resonable. They do good work in about a 2-week turnaround. They do mail order. Not the greatest website, but they are: Hanlonplating.com
GOOD LUCK
