Custom Plating Specialist is very competitive with its prices and provides an excellent customer satisfaction rating. Remember, you get what you pay for, and if you choose a cheaper company, you may be looking to get those parts re-plated within a year or two. CPS does it right the first time.

Some parts from the twenties and thirties are made of a different kind of pot metal that doesn’t weld at all, but after chroming for thirty years, we have found many ways to go about fixing these different parts. Where our competitors send parts back undone because they don’t know how or don’t want to fix them, we help you complete your project..
