We are having trouble locating a local shop here in Southern California that is interested in doing this type of chrome work. Any referrals would be greatly appreciated! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 279 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 279 | I use these guys: Pot Metal Restorations (850)562-3847 www.customcoatings.net

Check with Central Plating in El Monte. They may be able to help you out. I don't have their number but they are in the book.

Thanks! I will check them out. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 279 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 279 | I use Central plating also but have always sent my pitted stuff to Pot Metal Restorations,they really excell in the pot metal department.
I think Central may have closed up,all the numbers that I have for them are no good.It has been about 3 years since I had them plate stuff for me.They do awesome work.
Here is there address:
Central Plating
