    I have been using Reid Metal Finishing for 8 years now. Always been happy, other than the price of cad plating jumping every year.

    They are in Santa Ana, CA A bit North of you.

    Thanks,

    Brad,

    Thanks for the help but I called Reid Metal and they said they had a 3 month wait for cad plating. If I can't find anything better I guess I'll have to wait.

    Hi Bob,

    They are a little funny about used automotive parts. The past two batches they told me the same thing about the three month wait, the parts finished in about two weeks. Both times. Kind of strange, but they do good work. They noted that the auto parts dirty their cleaning tanks so they wait until the tanks are at the end of a cycle and then do the automotive stuff.

    Thanks,

    Brad
