Chrome plate going rate?

Spoke to Dave @ allenchrome and I'm very reassured by what he says. He seamed very knowledgable. But north of £300 seems the going rate!

Hampshire Electroplaters are the best that i've ever come across.

They used to chrome for Curtis and Rickman and the same staff are still there today. 

They understand BMX and respect stamping, welds etc. I'd wholeheartedly recommend them  :daumenhoch:

I've used Hockley Chrome, Essex a few times.  :)

Paid around £200 to £250 per F&F. Freestylers can be more. :daumenhoch:

Hockley are fooking cowboys.

You can pay £100 for a frame and forks if you want it to have the same finish as a Tesco shopping trolley, there is a lot of prep/polish work involved before plating , bearing in mind  a lot of frames BITD weren't even polished , just dipped in nickel then chrome and had a frosty finish to them.
The chrome always reflects the prep work and so does anodising , if the metal surface has marks it just highlights these areas once coated .
