I'm doing it strictly for the C & V cause! Someone's got to do it. There is a good plating shop locally so if it doesn't work out then it will be sent there. But at least we will know.

The Richmond VA shop is this one: http://www.hanlonplating.com/

I called them a month or 2 ago. Seems like they quoted me around $50 to do the fork ends. So I might be contacting them after an epic fail!
