You can use Custom Coatings and Pot Metal Restorations in Tallahassee, FL. I haven't used the pot metal or plastic plating, but they did a great job in the preparation for replating my 31 chev reflectors with the polished aluminum. http://www.customcoatings.net/
My Chevy is over 70 years old and still running great. I hope I keep running cuz I just turned 81 !!

I used AIH Chrome, Dubuque Iowa, 800-782-8235, Steve Whalen Owner, for all the die cast (pot metal) on a 1960 Mercury and on the current 1934 Chevy Master Sport Sedan. He does not use "filler rod" and a torce for imperfections; once prepped the holes are filled with copper in a dip tank. His only level of refinishing is show quality and has a lifetime warranty. Steve inspects every piece before shipping....JIM

 Paul's is great. I had some work done by them. They set up kitty-corner across from me at Hershey. I see repeat customers dropping off work to be done by them year in and year out. They have a display of some of their pot-metal work. Wow, is all I can say! Paul's is probably not the cheapest plater but truly amazing what they can do. And, what's a few buck more when you have the peace of mind knowing you're getting the very best bang for your buck. Charlie
