Not Seeking Replies. Just Venting.
In January, I stripped the wheels, sprocket, side castings, floor boards, rider pegs, and brake pedal off my scoot and sent it off for chrome plating. The weather was bad and the chromer didn't receive my stuff until February 2nd. Their, invoice, dated February 3rd estimated four to five weeks delivery. Tomorrow starts week twelve! While I enjoy reading the posts on a daily basis, they sure make me miss being a true part of things.
I'll be talking with them tomorrow and asking them to return everything, chromed or not. I'll see you on the road. I might be the guy with one wheel chromed and the other not. ...Don

Chrome
I hate chrome and I'm just going thro the reverse process, I've done mine a bit by bit each week for the past 4 weeks and will be delivering the last part to Pro Coat tomorrow.
They have never let me down and usually turn the parts around in 4 days.
So far I have had both my front wheels, stock exhaust tip & heat shield plus any nuts and bolts powder coated in matt black.
I purchased a TBR carbon exhaust slip on system last week and had the heat shield and mounting band done the same, tomorrow is the turn of my last piece which is the stainless steel pipe that joins the stock cat to the carbon canister.
Everything on my ST Ltd will then be black or white with the exception of a lot of silver nuts and bolts that I will eventually get round to painting my self.
Hope it all works out for you and your chrome looks good.

Deadbeats .....
Should you have a problem getting things back. You are more than welcome to any or all of the parts removed from mine. Just shoot me a PM.
Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

I hate it when stuff like that happens, I'm honest enough to say I have no patience regarding my vehicles. If they say they will have it done by then they better really have it done by then. Off course raging doesn't help anything but as you mentioned venting doesn't harm anyone, haha~
Keeping my fingers crossed for you that all goes well from here on out...

Update
I contacted the plating company yesterday for an update. The sprocket is the last piece not completed. The chrome bubbled and had to be stripped and re-plated. Expected completion date is Monday, April 28th. That makes delivery thirteen weeks after receipt - IF they are successful.

This not a reply . . . just me, making an observation . . . If I went through this, I'd post the name of the business after I had my parts back, so others would know they (1) make unrealistic promises, to get your business or (2) they are incompetent, and folks should steer clear of them!
