Does anyone know a good source for cad plating?

I would ask a local machine shop who they send their parts to. Plating is 
kind of a specialized process. Try to find someone that does plating for 
government (DOD) contracts. They are more likely to keep their tanks clean and 
properly maintained.
I don't know what you want plated, but if it is a part that is put under 
strain, ask them about heat treating after plating. Cad Plating leaves parts 
subject to "Hydrogen Embrittlement", and requires a period in an oven to outgas 
entrapped hydrogen so they are not so likely to break under strain.
