Hi

I'd like to get my stern light stantion for my '88 Montauk re-chromed this spring. My local resource gave me the distinct impression that my asking them to do my bow chock last year was more trouble than it was worth. And they charged me $160 to re-chrome the bow chock. Would you all be able to recommend me with some vendors who you have had a positive experience with, someone who I can mail the two pieces two and charge me a fair price?

Much obliged,

Matt

There is a plater in Pa that was recommended to me. I have not used them yet, but plan on sending a few items to them. http://www.frankfordplatinginc.com/nginc.com/.

Hey Jim, might I ask what the charge was? I have another run of parts that need to be done.
Thanks.

Scott, they charge per part if I remember correctly it was about $30 each. (the bow light is 5 parts, post 2)

Hi Scott,

Interesting, $30 a part. My bow chock cost me $160 to get redone - five parts.
