Chrome Hand Control Plating????
Anyone use Ricks Plating in CA to have their hand controls chrome or use the exchange program? I have heard horror stories about awful experiences getting this stuff chromed. I have heard good things about Ricks plating. Any one have any feedback?

Never used them before, but I've sent quite a few pieces to www.brownsplating.com. Extremely satisfied with everything they've done and it all still looks perfect from day one even after 4yrs. I ride pretty much all year round and you know how the east coast winters are with all the salt on the roads. Remember one thing when it comes to chromers, good chrome isn't cheap and cheap chrome isn't good.

Ask around in the general chat section, you should get more responses. Browns came highly recommended to me from local shops around me as well as a few members on here. My bike is pretty much chromed out so I made sure I got the quality I paid for.
