Re: Ignition Bezel Reproduction - Pricing and Minimum order

Am wondering what metal will be used for the casting and am concerned if a buyer will have a reasonable access to chrome plating. I know in some places -- California being one of them -- the EPA has all but extinguished the plating industry and of those shops that remain many will not touch some metals.
I notice some of your other items are beautifully plated. Would you be willing to work something out where the bezels were entirely chrome plated at your end and if so could you estimate the additional cost. Clipper model bezels were all chrome. I suspect Packard model bezels started out the same but had just the flat area where the label is embossed bushed to a slightly duller finish.
If a fully plated bezel could be bought the all chrome face would barely be noticeable in a Packard. If the buyer wanted it to be more correct he could dull the flat surface himself by gentle use of a fine grit wet/dry paper or a rough grit polishing compound.
I will commit to one to get the ball rolling. Here is a photo of the bezel face. The brushed area is the surface outlined in red.
