Does anyone know who does chrome plating - cheap?

I'm in Dayton, Ohio, and around here, they charge you an arm and a leg for it.

I have a Vendo 44 front bezel to chrome plate.

Thanks

No such thing as cheap chrome thanks to the EPA regulations.

A Vendo 44 is very hard to replace let alone finding an extra one!

I would pay the extra bones insuring it's done perfectly!!

I agree. The  44 bezel is large and the center point of the machine. Pay someone to do it right, you'll be glad you did in the long run.

Contact "The Chrome Shop, INC.", Menasha, WI. 920-727-9444.
I used them for small machine pieces and they came out perfect. Like others have mentioned, cheap + chrome = disappointment. Do it once, do it right.

I heard that Speed and Sport Chrome Plating in Houston was good.

I recently used them on my 81 and they did great work. Probably not the cheapest, but quick turnaround and perfect work.
