And do as much of your own prep/polishing as you can, then get the chroming company to prep it further to get the best possible finish, this is how i have done it in the past and had some decent results. They may claim that there polisher cannot get into tight areas (ooh err) so its worth trying to polish up areas lke the dropouts, gusset etc your self. I normally pay £150 inc prep and plating , sorry for the longwinded reply
