Is chrome plating really that costly.

Cheap isn't the best way to get something chromed

If you are spending money to restore a part you done want them to ruin it

I spent about 3,000 for chrome on my dart 10 years ago

To restore pitted pot metal it has to be repaired before chroming. Some of my pieces were ruined when I had done by cheap guy

Thank the government for restrictions on the industry to skyrocket prices
