I sent some parts to Chestnut for chroming, including some Elektra ball guides. He said he won't touch them, despite me having done what he said to clean them up beforehand. I'm pretty disappointed, as this is the last thing I needed to compete my restoration. Barring some solution, I'm stuck parting out an otherwise pretty nice game that I've already sunk a fair bit of money into. I'm not trying to call anyone out; I JUST want to be able to put this game back together.
Any suggestions on what I can do? I'm not looking for anything resembling perfection, just something I can throw back on the game that isn't a total embarrassment. Should I sand and paint them? Some way I can put a new finish on them myself? Is there someone else who might have the cojones to tackle them?
