Has anyone had any chrome plating work and also alum polishing of engine cases etc done by Christchurch Metal Finishers in Christchurch. If so, I would be keen for some feedback?

Escort in Maldon St are still good for polishing. Never used ChCh Metal finishers as they have been predominantly production work biased.
Since Superb closed down it's got hard to get good plating for small size batches in ChCh.
Some are using Tony Pole - but I hear mixed results.
For the sake of someone looking....I've been pointed at Plating Solutions in ChCh as the successors to Superb.
Haven't used them yet but I've seen some of their work. Not bad at all.
Right, so got my stuff back from Wanganui Electroplaters, $550 which was less than quoted and I am very happy with the result. The light mounts front and rear are better than new and the chain guard and muffler guard are both better than expected, not perfect to start with so a big ask...
Only a Rat can win a Rat Race!
the last batch i took there was brand new manufacturer, they sued 240 grade sandpaper then polished, i've never punched anyone since i was at primary school, they came close to being the next, they fucked my stuff, funny thing is there is 2000 grade paper available at supercheap too.
I had been going there for some times and it wasn't always good either
not as yet, they didn't inspire me with the answer to simple questions when they started, and most of my stuff is so rare it's not easily replaceable. I am hearing good things from them, and ws in wanganui at a motorcycle dealer who restores bikes and they have switched from wanganui to them. I'm not restoring a bike at the moment cause i'm so pissed off with the shit work people do to be honest. Never asked for a price with, just a quality, and i'm also well aware you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, been restoring bikes for near 40 years
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
