I imagine that in the automotive business, they are chroming a lot of pretty small parts for car restorations.
Thinking along similar lines, I had been checking online classic motorcycle forums about re-chroming parts, so I'll try popping into a couple of local restorers and see whether they have anything to suggest.

No. London Chroming on the OKR opposite Asylum Road turnoff. Arm & a leg.
I have things done by a chromers in Liverpool i believe, though I'd gone to Argos in Bristol to commission work on a 60s track iron.
Okay, it looks it may only be worth it for a special item. I'm based in Sheffield, so I'll see what is available in Yorkshire.

I saw these guys on a TV programme a few weeks ago, they use a spraying process. Never used them, but if it’s a small part then they might be able to include it in a job with a larger item?

Chrome plating a small item -- a double cable stop
Posted by
@Nick_S
Most high-quality traditional chrome downtube double cable stops for barcon shifters available for sale are pitted (even if they have had the rust cleaned off), or very expensive for (really) new-old-stock. So I was wondering about buying a new black "no-name" version available for £10, modifying the cable entrances to allow for ferrules, and getting it chromed. I could do some initial preparation such as removing the black paint and filing any rough edges.
Any idea much it would be to get a small item like this chrome-plated to a high standard of finish, and where from?
An alternative is to get a tatty Campagnolo one re-plated, though again, I have no idea if this is economically viable and whether it would preserve the original name and finishing details.
