You are looking for a shop that does "acid copper"
plating. You know the old "copper, nickel, chrome" definition of
triple plating which is basic to quality chrome plate. Well "acid
copper" is a multi-step process in itself and it causes the copper to flow into
and fill the pits with the most common need being pot metal that has pitted
badly. It is time consuming because depending on how bad the part
is, it can take several coats of fill and grind to get back to a smooth
surface. Time and material equals money. Many chrome
shops avoid a copper step at all. Very few shops actually do "acid copper"
because of time and cost.
Bottom line is you have to ask if a given shop will do
acid copper. Then expect the total cost to about double on any parts
that you have done with acid copper. Or: "You get what you pay
for".
