Can anyone recommend an electroplating business that does steel rims and bumpers in the Brisbane, Gold Coast area?

TIA.

Talk to bright shine trims at Ipswich. They can fix even the pitted cast alloy stuff.

Yeh Glenn your talking about old Ronny from Gold Coast Elc! He's ok I've used him for a lot of jobs on most of my cars he has his good days and bad days. last time I used him he lost my parts. make sure you get him to put it in writing how much he is charging you because he forgets sometimes it worked out better in my favour  :evilone:

Must be something in the chemicals they use that causes forgetfulness.We have a plater in Lismore who has been working as long as I can remember and he consistently loses parts and takes forever.

His work is very patchy sometimes good the other times woeful,we affectionately call him Percy Peeloff.
