I've used Advanced Plating in TN three times now. I've had minor issues with their potmetal pieces. You can look at their process at their website.

They offer to correct any problems immediately, at no charge. I paid $650 for restoration of 69 GTO tail light bezels. One bezel developed a small "blister" (maybe 3-16" round), where chrome separated from underlying copper layer I guess, you could notice it raised, push it in and it would pop back up. They offered to fix it no charge. It was in an area that would be painted black and covered by bumper.....so I let it go.

My 68 Hurst gate shifter bezel came out nice. But the person who ground down imperfections in the area under the sticker inlay ground excessively near the rear edge. I went with the swirled inserts over the wood, and there is a void between the inlay and the bezel.......not overly noticeable, in fact, you'd have to know it was there and look for it to see it, as the inlay doesn't quite go all the way to the edge to hide it.....

Point being.........seems like that stuff is tricky to work out. Look at Advanced's process, lot of work brazing pits, grinding, buffing, replating.

I can say Advanced is very friendly, and will re-do and fix their work no questions asked. Overall I was happy with them, if my tail bezel fails (pushed paint up etc.), it will only be my fault for not sending back in.

Just offering as an alternative......
