I've doing some research and the first step to chroming a part is to have it polished. When you take something to chrome shop they usually prep it up making sure its clean to dip in the acid then dip it in the chrome. Polishing is the hardest part of the whole process. Chroming is easiest. To save some money I decided to get it polished here before sending it out. After making several calls I decided to go with Romero's Custom Chrome in El Cajon. I picked up the valve covers and they looked great. You should've seen the the valve covers before. They were really dirty and were begging to be cleaned.
Now I will need to ship the valve covers to Cal-Tron Plating to get black chromed!
