Chrome Plating

[buickfunnycar.com]

Anyone have suggestions for good qaulity plating. I'm located in Georgia and carried some parts up to advanced plating in Nashville for a qoute and got seriously shocked. They wanted $800 to plate a 72 camaro RS grill insert and $1300 to do the rear smoothed and tucked bumper. I know good plating work is high but wow!

I Had Sherm's custom chrome in Sacramento do my grille filler back in '01 Tommy and it was $500 then so they probably aren't that far out of line,potmetal needs to be plated by an expert and all that EPA crap probably accounts for most of the cost...
