I'd say go look for a water transfer printing place to ship your parts out to. They can do titanium/neo chrome stuff along with the usual CF patterns.  | |

check with a local chroming/plating shop. you wont need to send it to the states.
if you cant find anyone on the lower mainland, send it over to the island to a place called Victoria Plating. The can do neo chrome finishing.

Victoria will be a hell of a lot faster, and cheaper (shipping). Support your local shops! Assuming their work is decent, which is something I'm sure Supper Dipper can vouch for.
On a side note, that water transfer printing stuff is awesome. Very cool, and more unique than neo chrome (at least for a valve cover). Would also like to know if there are any local places that do this.

thanks! | $550 for just my K20 valve cover
the proper neo chrome is a 8 step chroming process, it isn't spray paint Quote:

"hey man, it looks likes im gonna get my cage and valve cover done in neo chrome! Cant believe Vic Plating can do that finish locally!"
So by that deduction, i merely posted up that this shop on the island can complete this finish supposedly. I have yet to hear back if the parts got done yet. If in fact, the parts get done, ill gladly post up pics but if it ends up being a farce, then that sucks, and parts will continue to have to go to the states.

| It would be really cool to find a shop locally that could do this. With plating being such a nasty process due to the chemicals, there are more plating shops closing, than new ones to replace them. It's only a matter of time before we'll have no choice but to send it elsewhere.
And that's sad.  | |
