    Anyone had good experience plating KO spinners?

    Anyone had a good experience and can recommend a plater for KO knock-off wheel spinners? They must also be using Hexavelant chrome. I am concerned with their ability to retain the shapes and edges of the ears and the engraving. These are originals.

    Bill, I have used Custom Metal Finishing in Indiana. They did a great job keeping the shape and also keeping the OFF and Arrow sharp.

    Just remind them NOT to plate the threads or you will be sending them back for a strip and replate.

    Good Luck, Joe

      No personal experience with platers. Dennis Portka Hamburg, NY 716-649-0921 restored my original spinners. He was recommended to me from this site by another member. They came out 100% perfect, in my opinion. You may want to speak with him.

          Why re-chrome ? Just buy 4 of these NOS (eBay auction just ended at $622 for a single LH). .

            Dennis Portka does not do the chrome, his friend Bob Ore who owns Qual Krom does it for him. Bob has done spinners for me and they turned out great. Dennis referred me to Bob. Qual Kroms phone number is 814 899-8546.
