chrome plating

    After the closure of Mayfair (Chuck and Nina), I have wondered in the wilderness for a plating shop which has at least a little respect for its customers. From the invoice's from Cambridge "misc plating $1500" nothing else on the invoice. To the recent CD? Plating in London.

    I sent a rear short fender there, called a week or two later only to be informed that the owner had sent it on to another shop, which had wrecked it. I have expected it returned, no such luck. This has to be the pinnacle of disrespect. Further a friend of a friend of the shop called to say he knew someone who may have the parts I need, He took my phone number, but would not provide his sources number................?    Should I lock everything up now?

    Paul….. the last shop I used was Cambridge. Their work was tryly flawless, but like you, the price left me breathless……

    Some  local “hot rodders” are using a shop in Mexico! They box up (coffin sized crate) all the parts for one project and send it off. Despite the shipping, tax and duty implications, they swear it saves them +50% and is FASTER! 

    Sooner or later I will give it a try and report back.
