Electroplater, anybody?

[Street Gerbil]

Folks, does anybody have any experience with/favorite electroplating company?
What would be a normal charge for chroming two shock absorber casings?
Thanks!

Forlong and Maisey in Te Rapa did some chroming for me a few years ago. I remember it seemed fairly reasonable price wise, and they did a good job

Advanced electroplating in Ellis Street Hamilton.
They are so popular that they dont need to advertise. They get work from all over NZ.
I have had several jobs done there and recommend them highly. I dont know how their prices compare.

A few years back they chromed most of a car (or that is what it seemed like) The chroming cost more than the car. It was featured in a NZ motoring mag.

The service is good, I had a job done (nickel plated wheel nuts for a vintage Vespa) over a year later I took some tuba mouthpieces to be silver plated and the lady greeted me by my name. Amazing memory.
