Silverplating Needed - Headlamp Reflectors

I have recently picked up two headlamp reflectors which need silverplating. Does anyone know of a place to get this done. I am in Ontario Canada but the names/address of platers anywhere would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob Greaves

Silverplating Needed - Headlamp Reflectors Hi Rob - here are two in the U.K. - have not used them but have seen their work at autojumbles.

Keith Ardley, Classic car spares (sells mostly all Lucas lamps), 14 Bridge Road, Mepal, ELY, Cambs, CB6 2AR, Tel & FAX: +44 (0)1353 778493

Doug Taylor, Plating & Polishing Specialist (inc. Silver & GOLD!), Unit 7, Knightcott Industrial Estate, BANWELL, Somerset, Tel: +44 (0) 1934 82054

I'm sure we had the discussion about reflectivities before, and silver always comes out on top. Nowadays there must be a plastic spray-on coating which would prevent tarnishing, but I would be VERY surprised if anything has been invented which could take the heat. Maybe something from NASA, after all, Teflon was supposed to be a spin-off from the space race.
