Cadmium plating

Out of all those companies does anyone have personal experience with any of them, good or bad, would like to deal with someone that someone else had a good experience with in the past
 
I haven't checked the list, but I was very happy with Eastwood's tin/zinc process. Very easy to do and if you don't polish the plate, it looks just like white cad plating. it's also very stable and retains the finish.

x2. It's not like chrome plating where there are big differences between platers. The results will reflect your prep of the parts (cleaning/rust removal). Shipment to a distant cad plater will likely be more than the cost of the plating. Here's a batch I had done for a non Model A project. About $150 worth...

I used to "simulate" cad plating with dull aluminum spray & a whisp of satin clear.
I did the brake calipers on a '59 Jaguar MK-9 & the car won FIRST place at a prestigious car show.
