Re: Plastic Chrome Plating in Florida

I don’t know any in Florida, the one I used previously retired but here is one in NY state I believe. I’ve never used them but vacuum plating isn’t an everyday thing.

Hey Greg, you ever had any dealings with them? I'd love to use someone who is good that is in reasonable driving distance.

Re: Plastic Chrome Plating in Florida

I was referred to them locally...I've seen some of their work..it looks top notch....but not cheap....I couldn't afford what they quoted...my parts wernt even worth 1/3 of what they wanted to replate em...
Theres another place in Birmingham called Precision .....https://www.precisionplatinginc.com
