If you really want to use the OCC chromer, it is chrome masters in Nashville, Tn. www.chromemasters.com I was going to get them to do some stuff for me but the office manager(phone answerer) pissed me off so bad I won't do it now.
I've heard good things about Brown's plating in Paducah Kentucky, but haven't used them...

I used Brown's Plating in Paducah, KY in 1974 and their work was outstanding! Good to hear that their reputation is still great 36 years later.

I have always used Classic Components in Cali. Used them for my cars and bikes. All the local shops around here use them also
