Default Chromer or exchange

I'm looking to get my hand controls, and brake calipers chromed. Who is good, and reasonable? Are there any exchange companies for these parts?

I have got some stuff from this guy. The lowers I got looked great and the rotors were the same.

I see your location says Old Bridge. If that's Old Bridge, NJ I would like to recommend that you do NOT use Marra's plating in Newark, NJ. I had them do a car bumper for me a few short years ago and it was expensive, and not very good. Besides seeing the sanding scratches they put in the part removing the old chrome, it isn't holding up well and is now beginning to bubble up in a couple of places. Wish I had someplace to recommend, but can only tell you where not to go.

Interesting you say that, I heard they do good work but expensive...
