chrome shop in the northwest(WA)

I have heard there's a chrome/replating shop in Arlington, Wa. Does someone know of that shop? Or a shop that I can send 2 sets of steel headlight bezels to get chromed? I sent a email request to Electroplating of El Paso 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back. TIA

Re: chrome shop in the northwest(WA)

Ive heard good things about this place in Mukilteo by more than one person via car shows and get togethers. The work looks to be real nice. I have no personal experience with them.

Web site isn't the greatest but worth giving them a try?

Queen City Plating, Mukilteo

Im surprised about Electroplating of El Paso not getting back to you, only heard good things about them too.

Re: chrome shop in the northwest(WA)

Interested to see what you get for quotes. About 10 years ago I was looking to have similar smaller parts done as well as a bumper. When I started getting quotes in the $2k range for the bumper I gave up on having any chroming done. Guessing it's not any better now, but if they come back reasonable I might have to dig some stuff up...

St. Louis plating. Did my handful of am bezels for $25 each and they came out amazing.
Small mom and pop place. Great service

I'd appreciate you keeping your money local and using one of the shops here in NW WA. Besides the money, if we don't use these shops they will close, as you probably know. In El Paso, is your money going to American workers and for work done on this side of the border? AFIK, El Paso is not known for its car culture (hotrod, muscle cars, vintage) or the like. Just my recommendation for you to consider.

No in st Louis but shipping costs for smaller items like that wouldn’t be much. I priced out my 4 am radio covers and the lowest I got was $125 a piece.
St. Louis plating charged $25 a piece and quality was fantastic. Even with some shipping cost they would be a good option.
