Title: Cheap Chrome Plating
Post by: magpies35 on March 05, 2016, 10:40:00 am
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

Matt

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

What did they charge for your 81?

I believe everything was close to $400. That was for all the parts and shipping.

I'm really late in getting to this but for what it worth, I use a place in Dallas GA.  This is just for future reference  but it DallasPlating@Bellsouth.net
109 Old Cartersville Rd. Dallas, GA 30132.  Not cheap but his work has been good.  I always include the return postage and packing so all he has to do is put it together and ship it.  He is pretty responsive too.
