Chrome shop recommendations

[850 Combat]

I have a couple pieces that need chrome plating. Some of them are trim pieces on an old Scott/McCulloch 75 horsepower outboard motor, which I believe are pot metal. Brown's says they don't plate that.

Any recommendations?

Check out this chrome paint, I haven't used it but it looks awesome! You can get a choice of colors, and black chrome. New technology, might be worth considering.

The only place I've had any plating was at Medford Plating in Southern Oregon. The did a rack I made for my dual sport and a front fender for my 650g. They looked find to me, but what do i know. I would think there should be some place closer. Check with an automotive shop as to where they send things. I checked with a paint shop about painting my fender, as I was undecided about chrome or paint. Paint was only$5.00 cheaper, so I went chrome. The automotive shop put it in with his items for pick up when the plater came through next time. I paid the plater direct, no (known) mark up.

Thanks. I can't believe I haven't found a local shop on the internet, but I have not. I may go by the Harley shop and see if I can find out where their customers send their stuff out. I had some Lotus parts done at a shop in Portland about 15 years ago. Not entirely happy with that work. I wanted triple plating, but they did my intake manifold and swirl pot with chrome only. The fron A Arms came out well in nickel over copper.

Brown's is local to me and they have been in business most of my life. If they won't do it, there is a good reason.
