Theres a place in Newark. Can't remember the name. If you have a local MC rag it should be in there.

depends on your area and chroming facility. When I chrome a frame, I usually have it black chromed. Black chroming is more expensive than regular chrome. I also knew the folks well and always got a good deal. I shipped them a lot of business.
