I drag race motorcycles and have several contacts for custom work, show chrome included.
Since sources are thin now days for it, the ones that do it are often overwhelmed.
They also are not inclined to do small surface or non steel bits for the challenge when stellar results are needed.
Mostly very good at fenders, oil tank covers, cowls and such.
It has become a bolt on thing for the most part.
