Not to be trying to hijack this, but I'm looking for a chrome plating business if anyone knows a reputable one in the area...

Hey Cecil, if you are looking for plating you wont find anything around tyler. You will either have to go to j-ville or dallas(i recommend dallas). There is a great place in Dallas called Elite Plating & Coatings Inc. They do very impressive work but mainly have seen alot of their commercial items. They even perform powdercoating along with Copper plating, Passivate, wet paint, electroless nickel, Anodized, Nickel, Alodine/ Chem film, and BLACK OXIDE!!! very nice!
Anyways hope this helps bro

There are a few on this site.. be careful posting links and info on non-sponsors. PM is the place for that if you know someone personally. I can guarantee you that the sponsors on here will do it for a better price and give better quality...

EDIT: BUT THE SPONSORS ON THIS SITE CAN DO A MUCH BETTER JOB AND I WOULD PREFER GOING TO THEM...TRY CONTACTING ANY OF THESE SPONSORS FOR BEST RESULTS AND SATISFACTION!!! THE MENTIONED NAMES ABOVE ARE NOT SPONSORS AND ARE NOT RECOMMENDED. THE INFO WAS PULLED FROM YELLOW PAGES FOR INFORMATIONAL USE ONLY
