I still do some chrome on a limited basis, but they're small pieces (emblems, repros, that sort of thing) as opposed to car bumpers, safe boxes, grill trim I used to manage on large industrial lines. Levi's? given enough money and some leeway.. sure....I gold plated a scorpion once for some guys outside of Tuscon...long story.. 
So... the short answer is, yes if it's a small enough piece and worth my while.... most nowadays is custom reproduction of old brass, nickel, copper, zinc, whatever others can't figure out how to do.. 8)
The chasis is coming along well.. got 6 of the 10 cans plated. Quick question: those who've painted their chasis... did you strip all the components (tubes, transformers, caps) off the chasis, or selectively mask them and spray the remaining surface. I'm leaning towards the latter, but masking the variable caps on the rf sub-chasis will be a bear.
thanx.
