I've used Chrome-Tech in the past, usually two or three racks every year. I have some kit parts replated, but mostly send out resin parts that I sell at a couple of shows per year. Chrome-Tech lets you put plastic and resin on one rack; LMK wants them racked separately. Last time around I tried LMK. Turnaround time was faster, but I wound up tossing half of the parts because the plating was contaminated (had a "gritty" appearance). (I don't sell "seconds".) Back to Chrome-Tech for me!

l used Chrome tech once. The only flaws (not many) were due to my 1st time prep work. Turn around took a while as he only "dips" on the 10th of every month. He lost one piece which he left up to me to replace. Luckily, Revell did replace it. lt was a fairly flat piece which l was able to use BMF for. l wish l would have thought of that 1st. l now use BMF for any parts l can. l have yet to try The Little Motor Kar co. but plan to soon, just to make a comparison. l have heard they're a little less expensive.

From what I've heard, LMK does thier own plateing. I don't believe their dipped. Chrome Tech sends theirs OUT to be chromed, hence the once a month schedule. I've heard + and = about them both, so unless the SERVICE is better from one than the other, I'd say they're both about the same.
