Thanks

Hey Chris,

I used Mike Chestnut in the past, and since his passing the business is now:

http://www.pinballplating.com

Not sure what their backlog is, it took about 3 months the last time I had something done. Excellent results and fair pricing.

3 months huh. Ouch.

Yeah Mike was so great and always did a quick turn around. His lows was a blow to the modding community.

Chris,

I use http://www.chrometech.net/hard-chrome-plating.html for work, but the items I am sending out are for surface hardness, not beauty. There is also http://www.badgermetalfinishing.net/ in the Milwaukee area which does a lot of car parts, but I have not used them myself. I have found with powder-coating car parts in the past that if you are flexible with dates..."sure you can hold onto the part for a month and through it in with another order" that the prices are better.
