It's amazing what having a monopoly on the market lets you do.

350 at CnC??????????? Didn't it use to be around 200 or 150? That is insane.

Tell me about it. I paid less for my helmet itself. I think a little haggling will get them to lower it.

It's truly ridiculous. They are just taking advantage of us.

There's also Coat of Chrome (a company in PA) that has worked on my stuff before. Don't know these days how much Don (the owner) is charging, but at least that's another reference outside of Creations and Chrome with experience in chroming these type castings.

same for me, I could never get a hold of them, and their work looks fantastic.

To help you guys out I'm gonna give yas some info. Don does fantastic work! He chromed my helmet and gloves. The gloves cost about $150 and I can't give ya an exact price on the helmet because it was included in the price of the commission. Here is his email: Don@coatofchrome.com and remember guys please be nice and courteous. (Many places won't chrome dp helmets because the people getting it chromed have been very rude in the past)

[tekparasite]

send an email to don@coatofchrome.com He's the owner. Give him a description of what you're looking for and include your phone number. He'll give you call.

Got an E-mail reply today from a company...

YES.

Please accept our apology for the delay in answering your e mail.

The way we chrome plastic is truly unique. Most platers that plate plastic are using a "spray on" paint like imitation chrome, or vacuum plating. It's not an authentic tank plated process. We actually tank plate the plastic as if it were metal. We triple plate show chrome (copper, nickel, chrome), your plastic parts. (Electroplate) Your pieces will even look and feel like metal when finished, go to www.4chrome.com/PlasticChrome.htm and look at the plastic v-rod fuel cell. Show Chrome Plating of Plastic costs $5.00 per square inch. Please allow 8 weeks for delivery. App. $500.
