I have a guy locally (25 mins. away) that does a great job and is cheaper than any other people I have heard of. I had him do my 81d parts and they are perfect. I think he charged me $40 or $50 for the big coin entry bezel. I have tried taking pictures, but the light just bounces off of it. I live in Oregon. If you can't find anyone else, you can mail them to me and I can get them done for you. He also straightened out my stainless trim and pounded out the dents and then polished it up real nice...looks brand new...I think that was about $20 - $25. I don't remember exact prices, but he was cheaper than anyone else. I have used another guy here and he did a decent job for me, but the prices were steep and + shipping.
He will also polish the crank handle for about $12-$15.

Sounds like a good lead..

I have used New England Chrome in the past with good results.
