Got the price from Electroplating Technologies $500 but their plating bath can only take up to 1200mm doh!  So after all that the first price looks pretty good.  But not sure if I can justify the cost now so will most likely keep with the painted  :D

Hey Noid, why don't you try chrome painting. No not from a can. it is a longer paint process but you cant pick a chrome piece from a chrome painted piece. Its done with a gun, but it then get hosed off and you are left with this awesome chrome finish, it gets baked just like a normal paint job, and last just as long. Who does it, and how much, try a few spray painters.
