Just curious why we restore our cars with better than original gaps and better than original paint jobs, and often replicate overspray, etc. But want to use inferior, albeit more original looking re-chrome processes.
I'm not dissing anyone, as I did that, myself, except that I had my valve covers show chromed. I even had my painter replicate the paint smear in one of the punched holes on the underside of the deck lid! |

Can only speak for what I went through,platers thick show chrome plating covered up the dripper dimples on my valve covers.

69 L78, You previously wrote "they quoted me $225 - $280 ea."
What did Dan charge for the ONE (pic above) and what do you anticipate paying for more......??? I have survivor 70' L78/LS6 covers needing Chrome versus buying CRANE Covers for ???? $$$$$$

I received 10 of my 18 valve covers I sent out, I was charged $270 ea. or $540 per pair for a total of $2700 + shipping and yes I am very pleased with the results. Some members like to complain about high price of parts, but they have no problem shooting for the moon when they sell their car or their customers cars.
