Haven't done any chrome plating in several years, went looking this spring not many left, between powder coating and the EPA few choices on the East Coast.

Funny you guys recommend California shops. Buddy builds huge rectifiers for the plating industry all over the world. Eveyone I've ever talked to in the industry says Ca (of course) restricts certain chemicals and processes which reduces the overall quality of plating in Ca. and you really can't get the quality of chrome and long lasting material that you can get outside of Ca. Same goes with paints. Point being, if you are able to find a good shop outside of Ca., I'd use that.

there are a bunch that are grandfathered in…if they move, they’re effectively shut down. That’s why they stay put…they can’t even sell the properties because they’re probably too contaminated.

Are they still in business? we used to use them YEARS ago, i thought they had closed up? or maybe the business got sold?

They used to do anodizing iirc

Haven't used them since the 70's when I had friends that worked there, But MJB Chrome Plating is still in business in Rialto Ca. 92376. Not sure it would be the same owner, but maybe the same family. 236 So. Riverside Ave. Closed Fri-Sun. 909 875 1910, Yelp doesn't look too bad, and a little closer than LA. Lot's of Over the Hill Gang in that area.

As far as I know.
Ed retired years ago.
Last time I was there, about 2013 or 14.

I have used every chrome shop over the years and have been screwed by most. However there is ONE that not only gets it done , they get it done on time and budget. SHERMS PLATING IN SACRAMENTO. They get all of our work from Washington. They have 3 finishes depending on what your after.
