Okay.....that helped......not.
Chuck, I have used this shop before with great results. M&P Refinishing. Jeannette Pa. http://www.mprefinishing.com/
I had a Convert shift lever--with the back put cut off--plated by Classic Chrome Plating (chromeplating.com). $33.01 total, including return shipping, and I think they did a good job. Can't remember the turn around but I think it was 3-4 weeks.
Librandi, at Harrisburg airport.I used them on my Viper motor parts, hinges etc. Theya are not cheap, but good quality.http://www.carchrome.com/

They also go by the name South Bay Chrome....same address. They did all the chrome on my Ambo back in 2002. Prices were good and turn around was fast. There was only one piece I sent back for a redo.
I know the distance issue... I use Oshkosh plateing for my Zink with a clear coat. I prep the parts, drop a bucket of hardware off and it's usually done in 4-5 days. Cost is $30.00 flat fee if it's just hardware.
Charlie, chrome is a lot more expensive by the piece than zinc so chrome platers are less likely to lose an item. Zinc plating is cheap and most who plate zinc do it by the batch and if a piece or two is missing, they don't seem to care. I learned this in 1981 when I did a 1951 Falcone "Sport" for a friend. Consequently, I bought a home plating kit for zinc from Eastwood Company. It's painfully slow, but the quality is as good as I want to take the time to make it--and I never, ever, have to worry about having a zinc plater lose a few of those irreplaceable items. Finding them from another source is very time consuming, too. So, I would approach with confidence the chrome platers recommended by this board, but for zinc, consider doing it yourself.Ralph
This kit from Eastwood looks really interesting. I do not know if I like the use of D batteries to power it though. I wonder if a battery tender would speed up the process? http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-s-tin-zinc-electroplating-system.html
What , do you want me to call Tulsa Plating and ask them if they will chrome plate one old MC fender for you ? Geez , how about I fly to Hawaii and hand deliver the fender back to Oklahoma , free of course Dusty
