Plating Vendors?

[Bill Ladd]

I'm planning on using Burt's suggestion for shaped steel bellcranks to match the two I already have. I want to have them plated once I've bent and drilled everything. As far as I can tell, there are no platers here in town.

Do any of y'all have a preferred shop?

Thanks!
Bill

Anyone utilizing chrome/nickel platers? Anyone?

Hi Bill, try to get in touch with Bill Stroud...he makes BJS slide bars he might know someone who does that.

That's a great idea. Will do. Thanks!

Check with people who build street rods or classic cars .
Has anyone seen the powdercoat chrome. I have not seen it but it may be worth checking out. I had a guy say it looked pretty good and it is a small enough setup for a at home guy to get into.

The reflective chrome looks pretty good in the picture. If you click on the picture of the engine parts it enlarges it.

A trip to a local rod run may have a guy that does it at home and they normaly have some samples.

Scott -- I do a lot of electrical work for a local powdercoater and he does work for me gratis.

Unfortunately that chrome powdercoat doesn't look much like chrome. Sure as hell looks good in the ads, though!!!

That is about what I thought and why I suggested to look at a sample . I know the spray can chrome is terrible but we still sell it at work . Hit a rod run some Saturday . Some body will know of someone .
