Looking for job shop to chrome plate some zinc die cast bezels

+++++++

I have 200+ zinc die cast bezels that I need to have polished and chrome plated. This is an automotive trim part for old Buicks. It is part of a center cap assembly that goes into the center hole in a chrome wheel and the quality needs to be high as these are used on collector cars. The castings are clean but will need to be polished/buffed prior to plating.

I can send samples and a finished part for review prior to quoting. The part is approximately 2.75 inch in diameter and 1.25 inch high with a 2 inch diameter hole in the center. In the past, many platers that I have used were unable to achieve a decent plating on the bevel that runs around the hole. If you see the part, you will understand the issue.
