Default Chrome Crying

I fabbed a custom bracket for my FXDF ( a heel guard) I'm finding it not so easy to find a place that will quote to chrome it. I am in Southern Calif about 40 miles east of LA.. Anybody know of a responsive chrome plating shop to deal direct with? I can send it by UPS if needed of course. It is not a huge job, maybe that is the problem......TIA
