    Just started doing chrome

    Now working with one of the best chrome shops in the world. If you own a $40M Bugatti Atlantic, chances are this shop has done your chrome.

    A ton of work but the results are worth it.

    Shaun,

    So what exactly are you offering here? Are you offering to act as a middle-man, or are you going to divulge the name and address of the shop who did the work, so that we can contact them directly?

    Thanks.

    I'm working with Shaun right now on some plating for my 70T. My understanding is that he found a quality plater and worked with them to understand our collective needs. He then acts as a consultant/middleman - advising on different options, overseeing the process, preparing the parts for plating, documenting the process via shared photos, advising on parts that may not be appropriate for plating, and providing final quality control. All of that, and providing excellent communication.

    It's a service I'm happy to pay for and, based on how busy he is, I'm far from alone.

    Affordable, yes. Less expensive than new Porsche but more expensive than the repro parts you can get on SM.

    Titanium is nice but for my taste, better suited to an impact bumper car.
