720nut 4,225 Posted December 29, 2015 Anyone know where I can get plating done or does anyone do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timflury 1 Posted December 29, 2015 This company near me does. http://www.badgermetalfinishing.net/ What are you looking to get done? Maybe I can give you a ball park figure. Plating is NOT cheap, cost wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maxwood 596 Posted December 29, 2015 Hello, Here is a place in Howell Michigan I googled (chrome plating Michigan) and several popped up most in Detroit. http://www.diamondchromeplating.com/ Thanks Ken in Mi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
720nut 4,225 Posted December 30, 2015 Ken, already talked to them they don't do walkins only big corperate jobs. She was nice enough to give me #'s to three other platers that I need to contact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timflury 1 Posted December 30, 2015 Don't get sticker shock if you're quoted around $150 or more to have the bumper done. It really depends on how much polishing is needed to get a good finish. The grilles MIGHT be a little less, but close to the cost of the bumper. I thought a kit like this would've been a viable solution, until I saw how much the kit costs. http://angelgilding.com/spray-chrome.html I would also ask around and see if there are local shops that perform this service as opposed to the old school.

tadams 988 Posted December 30, 2015 What about the other spray kit you bought, can't you do a chrome like finish with it? Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
720nut 4,225 Posted December 30, 2015 If your talking about the powder coating they don't have a actual chrome powder it leans toward a silver, I was wanting to rechrome because I've got so much time involved in this tractor already would be finishing touch. Tim I've talked to a bunch of local people and all say about the same used to be but don't know where they went, I'm sure there's someone just got to find them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
