Not sure what exactly you want, but I know that we get chrome plating from Keystone Rustproofing, and we pay only a $45 minimum charge depending on how many pieces we have. I can get you their number if you want. ~Jenn ---

There is a place in town where I work. I drive past every day. It’s a custom body shop that I see alot of rice at. I know they do chrome and gold plating. If you want their number I will get it next time I go by. ---

no such thing as cheap and good chrome plating. and it won’t be timely either. there is a place up route 8 that is one of the best in the country. ---

yeah cutty is right. we do it the right way. the piece that needs to get cromed, gets cleaned, stripped, dipped in acid, nickel, then chrome. it takes a long time. and its not cheap. ---

i think they can be chrome plated, cause those rx8 wheels are aluminum. I’m not sure though. It might be a different process. ---
