Metal polishing in northern VA area??
Anyone know a really GOOD shop?

I am dealing with R&R Rotary in CA, they do great work but because of shipping costs, shipping small stuff out there isn't worth it .

Thanks,
Chris

I have all the crap to do it; its just a mess, takes me forever, and I am not that good at it. I would rather just work extra hours and pay for it.

Watch how much you bling C, it's a lot of upkeep and adds to the heat soak. But these guys are good and local

I have used these guys: http://www.metroplating.com/

Ive actually used metro plating for some chrome work... kinda pricey but good work.

He quoted me $500 to polish my UIM....

I've heard some bad things about Metro plating... at least with regard to chrome plating. Nuvolari, is that who polished all of your underhood stuff?

I did about half of it myself during "FD downtime" The rest was done by a guy in LA, but he's out of business now.

Check with Jason at the RX7 store, hes got a local guy that does good work.
