Proctor's Metal Finishing in Muskegon is just getting ready to ship my narrowed up grill and my parking light bezels. Price was seemed fair (not Cheap) and they have been ok to deal with so far... BUT, I haven't seen the parts yet!!!!!!! I hope to be pleased with their work.
Why does it make a difference where a plater is located. I would think the quality of the plating is what matters.
The owner of Proctor's is my uncle. I honestly can't vouch for his plating good or bad since I don't work there, but he is a good guy. I used to work for him years ago when he and my Dad were partners. He and my Dad taught me how to do this stuff. I hope you're pleased too.
Josh, I originally wanted to have you do my stuff, but I ran into a time crunch and your lead time was too long. My bad for not getting with you sooner. Hopefully good chromin' runs in the family.
Not in Michigan but I don't use anyone else. Advanced Plating <CITE>www.advancedplating.com</CITE> 1425 Cowan Court Nashville, TN 37207-5628 (615) 227-6900 Have have used B & L in the past. They are good but I can tell teh difference between the pieces they have done for me and the ones Advanced Plating has done <TABLE cl***="ti ts" style="WIDTH: 21em"><TBODY><TR><TD>B & L Plating Inc <CITE>www.blplating.com</CITE> 21353 Edom Avenue (located off Groesbeck at 8 1/2 Mile Rd) Warren, MI 48089-4953 (586) 778-9300 Ask for Gino, tell him you're a friend of Denise Sheldon with the purple Olds convertible. Both places are long lead times. Advanced Plating times are right on teh money. B & L in the past has taken longer then stated. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
I live in Mich , I support Michigan business and I would like to take my stuff to the plater doing the work. Shipping can kill ya, a $600.00 dollar job quickly turns to $800.00 when you have to send it away...
Yes sir. For a while we had the plating shop on Wolf Lake road, and the polishing and office building on Apple Ave. When we moved up to Shelby we were able to have everything under one roof, altough the 45+ min. drive from Muskegon to Shelby got old. Don't tell anyone but I still miss living in MI.
B&L Chrome, ABC in waterford, PTI on 7 & mt. elliot. Finny I think is how it is spelled have not used him but I see alot of high end cars with his stuff.
Back in the mid 90's when they were on Apple I had them do some plating for my cpe. For 16 years I lived in new Era and drove to Muskegon to work
Nothing big, just odds and ends. The only thing I remember for sure are the vent window frames. They still look great. Being you know my name who is this?
