Re: What would you do different....do's and dont's

Wow a $25 minimum. The plater I use has a $75 minimum, but I can get a lot of pieces plated for $75. It is still cheaper there in Texas.

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.
