Now that we've run the gamut on chrome plating, can someone recommend a good cad plater for items such as hood hinges and latches? I really don't like the look of Eastwood's paint for these large items. I've been using Caswell Plating's kit for bolts and smaller items and am really happy with the results, but the kit's a little small for larger items.

I just had some plating done by Bill Oldenburg in Galena IL I was very happy! He does zinc plating because the cadmium is no longer available. Either silver or gold. His e-mail is classy58@yousq.net by the way his turn around was real fast
