Who does everyone use for Chrome Plating? Anyone to steer clear from?

i had some chrome plating done by the guys in cloverdale (superior plating)
i was very happy with the work that they did but it was quite pricey.
as for places to stay away from,i would say that every place that i heard something good i also heard of someone having a problem with them.
i had a guy come into the shop a couple of weeks ago and mentioned a newer chrome place in the delta are he said they were low on work and the deals were pretty decent right now.
if you need the number i will contact the guy tomorrow and try and get it for you

That would be great thanks Russ.

I'm not positive that it has closed, but like I said, it looks like it when I drive by. Maybe tmrw I'll go down and have a peek.

Dependable plating did all my work. Theyre in Burnaby up the street from where I work. Very reasonable.

You're talking about Action Plating, right Shawn?

I can confirm that Superior is still in business.  I had some stuff done in Jan.

I just used Kellowna Electroplating for uncles type 34 front and rear bumper centers, Seem alot of the high end hot rod builders in Maple Ridge use them, and they do some wicked wicked work.

I have only ever used Atomic in the past thou, So my experience is limited.
