Nickel Plating in central Florida
Looking for a recommendation on a shop to nickel plate my Manurhin revolver. I prefer someone local, west central Florida.
Fords has not returned my phone calls or emails. Not sure if they are even in business anymore, or maybe they just don't want any new business at this time.

Phone number is no longer in service. Looks like they changed their name to White Wolf, but cannot find a valid phone number, so I guess they are out of business.

Ford's is still operating. At least as of last month when I had contact with them. Try calling a little after 8:00AM before they get too busy. They do beautiful work but there is usually a 6 to 8 week wait time.

There is a post in the Coltforums regarding Ford's current work. Not too good. :-(

I've contacted him before, but Boca is 200 miles away, so would have to ship, which means another $150.
Re: Fords. I don't mind a long wait, but if they won't return phone calls or emails I cannot take them my revolver. I've heard their work has fallen off this past two years as they've had some turnover and at one point were seeking buyers for the business, but I'd still give them a try if they answered their phone/emails.
