Common problems with chrome platers :
1} "We did alot more work on the part than we originally thought so the actual price is double than the estimate do you want the part or not???" {window vent trim} Try getting away with that one in another industry...

2}"We ruined your part but if you send us another we'll still do it at the original quote" {a perfect, back window vent assembly for a 66 t-bird that got broke from a poor shipping box on the "ride" home... cost me 300 to replace}

3} "Sorry that's the best we could do" { Chrome potmetal lettering that was'nt pitted but the outer ridge detail was lost during the plating/polishing process}

These were some of the nightmares I've encountered over the years from various "reputable" platers.... I could go on but I'd just scare you more...
