BB only recently completed producing the plates -- about two and a half or three weeks ago. I would give Precision until the EOM before calling. At least, that's what I plan to do.
Holy Crap! I got a quote for chroming 2 Commander coaming emblems for $800!!!! :eek: Any suggestions?? I'm thinking no-chrome and retro worn-off no-chrome is a GOOD LOOKIN' alternative.
Kyle, the job is small, there's always UPS.
That quote is obscene, There has to be an outfit that's a bit more reasonable.
To my knowledge we have only one outfit in Northern California - if it's still in business.
It is probably the most heavily regulated industry in the USA. EPA LOVES metal platers.
Obviously there are heavy duty chemicals involved. Problem is waste water and heavy metals.
There is also a multi layered process to get to the chrome.
I have heard that stopping at nickle is one way to go.
Maybe powder coating? Krylon? Taiwan?
Their responseto my "HOLY CRAP" response to their quote: "We charge $75.00 per hour, the material that we use has gone up 900% in 2 years alone with the permits make chrome plating very expensive these days but it was never cheap."
Humm, home depot fake-chrome paint probably doesn't do Carl justice, but, cripes! I'm a social worker for a living!

Think those lotto numbers will hit it big?
You might try using a powder coating or going off shore (I dob't know where. Also, the people that chromed the nameplates for the assn a couple years back might still be around, '''i would go there first but you'll be up againdt a not unreasobnaBLE minimum chsrge, I would expect. Good luck.
Thanks. I checked out Caswell and they have a "super chrome" powder coat that might be an option for this application. Will advise re pricing. PO of Lucky Dawg rechromed most of the deck hardware - must have been astronomical - I had no idea!
