    Chroming - who does it good?

    Where do you get the best chrome job in NZ, and who do you avoid?
    I don't mind couriering parts around and lets face it - you can ship a lot of stuff for $50 in a big box so these days you might as well look for the best and the best value for chrome. Post your favourite chromer and let us all in on the secret!

    I have used Valley Platers in Lower Hutt and they were good, Gisborne Platers and they were good and Otahuhu Platers and they were very good , prompt, good job and price fair.Actually Wired there are 3 types of people not ten , those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what the hell happened.

    Thanks Pat, good to hear from you again. I have heard good thing about a CHch based chromer too so I'm waiting for someone to name them for me. The Timaru option is probably the best from a courier point of view if they are good... and there are three types of peope in this world, those that can count and those that can't!

    Thanks for that (and thanks for not bleating on about it being a repost!), probably everything I wanted to know.
