Define "decent price". In the chroming business, you get what you pay for. You want it show quality or daily driver quality?

Chroming is an art. Make sure you use someone that will polish the frame before starting the chroming process. Or get it all polished out before taking it to the chrome shop. All welds should be smooth and free of burrs.
