Hi,

is there anybody, who can recommend a rechroming-shop that does good work on pot-metal ?
I understand that there are lots of them out there, promising superb quality but that you can find the good ones only by having someone's recommendation...

Thank you in advance.

As it happens I have some experience with plating pot metal.
If it is to be done properly then one must sand/polish it down to a smooth surface and then plate it with nickle prior to chroming it.
That having been said, you will find a great deal of information about doing it yourself at: http://www.caswellplating.com
I'm not associated with them in any way I just have had great luck with their products.
HTH,
Jim
