    Prices vary all over the place but you should be able to find good quality plating for around $150.00-$250.00 each.

    My experience has been that most platers hate working with these. They find the cheap pot metal difficult to work with. I was paying my last plater $250.00 each until he refused to do anymore.

    my chrome plater said he could not promise good results and the process could damage the fixture. Chris

    If you want function, a coat of silver or white paint is... functional. Concours freaks will faint, but the lights will work.
