Who does chroming of engine parts?

I've searched the threads and don't see much on chroming of parts. Am I going to have to spend an arm and a leg to get this done?

Cadium or chrome? TRE Motorsport does cadium. Very reasonable. What do you want to chrome?

An oil canister for a 912 engine. How much do you mean by reasonable?

Try talking to some local Harley shops, they usually know where to get good chroming done.

Chrome on magnesium will get a big NO from the shop.. if anyone wants to do the engine fan tell them it's alumnium.

Greg,

One of the best in Northern NJ is :

MARA Polishing & Plating CO
(973) 242-0800
105 West Peddie Street, Newark, NJ 07112

If you had alot to do it might pay off to ship to other places as they can be much less expensive.
