Is it very pricey?

Wish I had known this when I built my Chevelle.
Wonder if they could do hood hinges.
Thanks for the info!
They do chemical prep when they coat it. If my stuff is particularly greasy I will soak it in some solvent as a courtesy to them before I drop it off. If the stuff is too rusty I will wire wheel the parts I want to be particularly nice.

If you look at the stuff I showed above, none of that was prepped prior to dropping it off. I just threw it in the box and dropped it off to them.

It's a buck per pound to do the plating, with a 25 dollar minimum. As you can guess, that box was maybe 7 pounds, so I paid the 25 minimum.

They can absolutely do your hood hinges. Size is no issue to them.
