jpl Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I have searched and come up dry. Metaloy (Chris Peters) still isn't taking work in. I've heard/seen rumors that Tripp is doing hard chrome for Atlas. I have a project in the shop now that the customer wants hard chromed. Who do you guys recommend?? Thanks for the help.

Bigzeke Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Not thread hijacking, but has anybody used Clark Custom Guns for HC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I have a Limited gun out at Mahovsky's right now. Waiting for it to return so no recommendation yet just a FYI. A buddy of mine had his 2 Edges done there last year and recommended them to me. Reasonable price and a 30-40 day turn around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBertolet Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Ditto on Mahovsky for hard chrome. He calls it Metalife. Had 3 frames done by him. Typical turnaround is 30 days. Very reasonable pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final product though was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safarihunter Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I've done Metalife going back to the late 80's Saw no reason to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCPEMark Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 i will probably get in the doghouse for this but..... you might want to check out precision custom plating and engraving. ... platingandengraving.com yes, its my company. So, to give a brief history; i started doing refinishing back in 1990 with APW. also have worked with checkmate gun refinishing ( for all you people that can remember that far back). they have been Fords refinishing for like 20years now. Anyways, my wife and decided it was time to open our own place . For those who are familiar with me and my work , looking foward to doing your next project or just catching up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assaulter Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I can vouch for Precision Plating & Engraving. They've done a few for me and have another one or two heading that way soon. VERY happy with the end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Simpson Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have a pistol done by Mahovsky, and it looks great. I bought it that way, so no idea on the cost or turnaround, but the end result is very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakerjd Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I thought I had replied to this a while ago. I can also vouch for @PCPEMark. I and Prasky Gunworks have had a few pistols done by them and always top notch service. And if you have any doubts about what coating to use he can tell you the good, bad, and ugly about all of them. Although he wont push you to use one over another if you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpeters11 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Had Ron at Mahovsky do this. Super quick turnaround, took about 2 weeks for the NiB plating. I assume I caught him right before doing a batch, so that probably varies. Came out great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
