Question Powder Coating/Chrome Plating.

Guys has anyone got access to powder coating ?
I have one item I need to get coated black and I'm not sure of where to get it done... if anyone has access let me know please it's just the fan shroud, I can paint it but would prefer to coat it price dependant.

Also does anyone know where I can get a couple of bolts chromed ?
I can't find anyone local via the net.

I can also recommend Castle Coatings in Caerphilly, which may be the same company as Topcoate.

As for the place in Treorchy I had the top of the espansion tank done there, it was a right mess and when I collected it they wouldn't let me have it back until I paid for it even though the chrome hadn't taken

Did that include taking the old paint off the wheels and prepping mate?
