Cad plating cost

What should I expect to pay for an alternator fan and pulley to be silver cad plated nowadays?

Hello Stellar,

It would be best if you posted your year, make and model with questions such as this.

For most '60s GM A and B bodied cars bright zinc is the correct plating for an alternator fan and pulley.

My plater gives the best prices when submitting things in batch; an alternator fan and pulley are small potatoes to the usual plating establishment that does jobs by the pallet.

Remember that prep is everything as well; according to my plater the ideal prep for your items would be blasting in 180 grit aluminum oxide. This is a set that I had prepped for plating:




It seems no matter what size batch I bring him it is always around $75, even with multiple finishes.

This is a finished alternator:
