Need to find a good chrome plating shop

Does any one have a name of a good chrome plating shop you have used in the past? I'm in Michigan, so I'd like to try to stick with a shop in the Midwest if possible.
Thanks for the help,
Eric

I agree with Special K. I used Paul's for all the chrome on my '63 nova convertible. They can even chrome plastic. They do a complete inventory of parts you send in and then give you a price. Worth the $.

Advanced plating in Nashville TN. That shop is used by the Nashville media guys that do all of those car and truck shows on cable TV. They do awesome work as well. If you find a shop that is full of car guys it is gonna help you cause.

Advanced Plating in Nashville is the only one who I have direct experience with. They polish all of our shocks, they also have plated a lot for our in house project cars..

They are great to work with.

I used these guys on a street rod I built a few years ago. The best chrome plating I have ever seen. They had a quick turnaround. Expensive but worth it IMO.
