I just took a set of door handles and buttons to Courtesy and the cost is $120 for the pair now.
I'd still do it again as all the repo stuff is not quite right.

Won't have the handles back for about 5 weeks.
I'll post pics after I get them.

----Just a contrarion thought, but lots of pieces go to the plater and get buffed to oblivion. All the sharp edges get ground off and the pieces dont appear original anymore. Specific instructions have to be given to the guy who does the actual work. I have had friends that sent Corvette KO spinners to the platers and got back spinners that have no relation to the originals. I have a set of &quot;NOS&quot; spinners at the platers right now that were in my shop fire and even with my specific instructions and thier best intentions Im really worried about what Im going to get back......Bill S

Yeah, I had that very same concern, so I made sure to instruct my plater to leave all the fine details in place when cleaning the parts in prep for the replate.
