These guys are tried and true. Excellent work, prices ok. Their turn around
times are decent.
Also, I was reading somewhere, there is now available a chrome look powder
coating finish, I have not seen it in person though.

I've seen DIY kits. The basic kits are similar to the price of
chroming, but might be worthwhile if you plan to chrome many parts over
the years. It's messy, and I don't know what kind of quality an amateur
can achieve.

I'm pretty sure chroming is expensive. Thaty's why I'm trying to
find one
that isn't too expensive and does good work.
A while back soemone mentioned that there was some powder coating
that
simulated chrome. Is that expensive too? Anyone try it?
Any DIY chrome kits available? (doubtful)
Thanks.
