Morrell plating in Dallas did it, unfortunatly you must have a tax I.D. to use them.

Industrial-grad cad plating is $0.17 per pound, $35 minimum - that box is 55lbs.

Clearance is still fine with the cad plating? How do they do it? Is it a full-on electrowinning plating or simply sputter coating do you know?

Looks beeeauuuutiful
