Have had a number of raceguns hard chromed.

The very, very best work has been done by

in Florida. They do beautiful work and really know how to polish pieces ... no heavy handed crap here ... no blurred printing or fuzzy or rolled edges. They can do any combination of bright and several shades of frost..

Really good folks.
