Anyone know of a good one that's still in business? I'll admit that I haven't done an Internet search other than asking here, thought I'd start with you guys. TIA as always.

I used to use Artistic Plating in Signal Hill. They also do a lot for Chip Foose. Good work but expensive.

Yeah many shops have closed.
20 years ago we used a chrome shop in Tijuana.
They would cross the border pick up parts and then deliver finished parts.

Thanks, guys. I ever thought of TJ, that’s probably the move. I don’t know a lot about plating but I do know that not all chrome is equal. It’s almost like painting….quality and thickness/finish seems to vary. I picked up a ‘67 MGB recently to restore and the front bumper is completely rusty…much worse than the rest of the car. I was under it working and to my surprise, it had a sticker on the inside from some plating place!

If you want it to last, triple-plating is best. Copper/nickel/chrome.

Dennis, I have used these guys a few times. Not the cheapest but heir quality is reallty good. Lots of industrial type products.

I have used others for lamps and faucets for restoration projects. Universal plating in Irwindale.
