I am having Ogden Chrome plating in Ogden Utah do all of my chrome, I have tried the plating company's here in Oregon and was tired of the we are the only ones around attitude. I have to say that the plating they do is the best I have ever seen. Give them a call and ask for Matt, Be sure to tell him that Mike from Old Classics Northwest in Oregon sent you, They will pay for the shipping to and from your house, I had a tough time sending my first box of 1971 H1-A parts,thinking they would get lost,They said if they had to buy a whole bike to replace them that's what they would do.They wanted my business.
I have been to lots of Hot Rod shows and the top notch car builders go to them, They are very fair.

Don't forget to ask for Matt.

OK, thanks, I was confused (not unusual). People ask me about chamber finishes all the time, so I'll be interested in your results. Other guys who have done the ceramic coating have been happy.
