Well...took your vent window frames and rear quarter frames out this afternoon to Performance Plating. Now I haven't had anything chromed in probably 10 years.
It's cheaper than your quote Bob so here goes................rear quarter window frames $350 for the pair...$175 each. The vent window frames were $300...$150 each....$650 total. Plus they have a disposal fee of $52 for a total of $702. They can have them done in 2-3 weeks. Sleep on it and advise..................

Sleep? After hearing that!!! :scared :furious

Have you tried "leaning on them" a little for a better price? :bat :D

Seriously, I don't think I have much choice. Let's get this over, "pull the band aid off quick!" :yikes

Let me know about payment and if they need a deposit or anything.


Thanks Phil. :)

You lot are a riot:laugh

On a serious note there were 7 Chrome plating companies in the south Island of New Zealand, some to Cadmium and anodizing as well.
Now there are only 5.
Two have closed in the last 6 months
Prices due to go up.
The reason for the closures is Chinese imported chromed items believe it or not.
Things like the legs of chairs, clothes racks for stores, chrome shelving (mesh type stuff etc) was their main income.
Us guys are only 10% or less of their business

Next we will have to get plastic bumpers chromed in China
I think i can hear the chinese saying "Noo rite wait ninteen sixy free Zee Ereven made in China, wiff factoree rite wait parts"

I thought that deposit figure was about 20 bucks high, should have been $3484.09.

Maybe it was too low Ron and Phil was giving Bob a discount should have been $4094.09 or $4254.09
