Ok, I am 0/2 on finding a good chrome shop. Either Google gets me big production facilities, or custom and restoration shops....... that get horrible reviews.

I'm looking for a shop to do a rare chrome speedometer bezel. I'd like to e-mail them a pic of it, get a rough quote, ship it to them and get it back in a month or less.

Recommendations? Personal experiences? I've searched these forums a lot and only found names of shops to stay away from.

Advanced Plating in Nashville. No personal experience with them but know a couple people who swear by them. A place I do have experience with and highly recommend is called GG Buffing but they're in Canada so they probably won't make your short list.
