Look up some Harley-Davidson Custom shops in the Yellow pages and ask them. They are usually quite fussy and have had small parts done. Then take the part around to the platers for an estimate. A lot of the cost is in prep, i.e. polishing, before the part is plated. You can do that yourself with a buffing wheel. Art Link,San Antonio,TX.USA

Group-
Has anyone used or know of a descent chromer that can do a rear rack, but will not break the bank. Also, what should I expect to pay (roughly)?
I recently picked up a pretty unique Constrictor style rear French rack (with built in mini panniers), It had factory white paint that was beyond saving (not even for that patina¹d look), so I stripped it down to bare steel. Looks like it is hollow steel tubing with brass flux. Anyhow, it¹s in great shape and I would love to get it chromed. LBS opinion is that it will cost a ton (which I tend to believe living in the Bay Area and how toxic the chroming process can be).
Thank again all.
