If you are going to send it out, I recommend Brown's Plating in KY. I had them redo a porous aluminum piece that the local shops could not get right, and it came back looking like liquid glass! they have been around forever too.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same owners. It's the Brown family business, and I used them back in the late 70s also.

+1 for Browns! Had them do my triple trees & exhaust bracket almost 3 yrs ago and they still look like new. Flawless.
