Chrome plating in the GTA?
« on: June 23, 2010, 03:23:42 PM »
I'm looking for suggestions for reputable platers in the GTA who do good work at reasonable cost on small lots of motorcycle parts! Prefer west of Toronto since that is where I am but can be any where in the area.

If you've had personal experience with them, that would be best.

Thanks!

nothing to add other than a tag so I can follow for results. I would dearly love to get both bumpers done on the Dart if I can afford it!

have used Mayfair for about 20+ years.  If your looking for 'show' quality they are they guys. Superior work, but can be pricey.  Did the polishing on my current build.  Also used Aero Tube & Plating (on Comstock just west of Warden) for my anodizied battery tray.

Thank you.

I found this place in Concord but they look expensive. Maybe custom chrome plating is expensive because of the work involved?

Has anybody used them?
