Chrome is not cheap in most locales. Check your area for platers and look for the ones who do good motorcycle work. Bikers (vs cyclists) are really picky about their chrome work. Then find out if they have ever done bicycles. Bear in mind they will not do any real prep or frame repair, so either you do it or send it to a reputable frame shop to have it done. If the latter, then you should give them the opportunity to do the plating. I was lucky. The frame I chose to do had no dings in it. The local plater did an outstanding job...for $150.
