I can see at least 3 options:

1) Do it myself with a brush plating kit,
2) Do it myself with a tank kit;
3) Send it out.

Does anyone have experience with the relative merits of these rechroming methods?

I'm a DIY kind of gal, but the only metalwork I've ever done is sweat-soldering copper.

Thanks for any input!

I'm sure what you're saying is true of real triple-plate chroming. I was thinking more along the lines of the small kits sold for home use (one brand name is "Copy Chrome"); the finish you get is supposedly slightly less blue than chrome, but still quite good.

Small brush kits can be had for about $30, and a small tank dip setup runs around $150.

I have looked in every antique & reproduction catalog under the sun; the offset I need is only offered in one style, which really doesn't look right with my cabinets. I wish I could go back in time and ask the person who built my cabinets (in 1930) where the heck he found those hinges...

The "copy chrome" kit is $30 or so, but it can't do more than a few square inches. How many kits would you need?
