Default Flash chroming trim rings

I had some repairs done on my Z ring and need them flash chromed. Can anyone recommend someone who does this well?

Darren are you sure you want it chromed? Could it not be repaired and filed, sanded, and polished out?

They are not like stainless. If you try to polish they will yellow and look like crap!
