Default Re: Good chrome plating shop in Miami-Ft Lauderdale?

When redoing CJ (Bowrider) and wanting to keep her all original, I checked into re-plating some cleats, lights, air vents, etc. at a local Palm Beach shop. The price was more than DOUBLE what I could buy new (but not same style as in the 1960's).
So Skip buffed it down to the brass and bronze. It actually came out looking neat!!! AND got to keep the original hardware on the boat.
