Spotlight hobbies now offering chrome plating service.

Not really sure where to post this but here it is.

I'm sure a few will be interested in them now offering the service.

I'm adding a link to their post on their board, I hope that's OK.  

Prices look to be the same as Dale was asking at LMKC before he closed down.

That's great. I hope to be able to utilize the service.  I'm still going to use my Revell Chrom Spray and chrome acrylic markers for parts that are not going to be overly handled, or not meant to be really brilliant.

Excellent news for procrastinators like me who waited too long and the last remaining model parts plating service (LMKC) closed their doors. 

I wonder if Spotlight Hobbies purchased their vacuum metalizing equipment from LMKC's Dale, or they acquired their own (or maybe outsource the service like Chrome Tech USA did)?

I inferred from Steve's link that they are doing this in-house. Very glad to have this service available again. I, too, have procrastinated in the past and missed out on having stuff chromed.

Has anyone used this service and if so, how did the parts turn out?

Actually more detailed info is now on their website:

I also could have sworn that someone on this forum recently posted that they were not happy with the way the "plating" came out. but I can't find that thread.

Worthatry …

The prices seem pretty reasonable compared to what Dale was asking, so it could be a good alternative for anyone looking for something similar.

Dale Horner was at the NNL East this year. I talked to him briefly, he had bins of chromed bumpers and grilles for sale.
