Default Pot metal refinishing...

Anyone in or near the Chicagoland area know a good place to have some of my pot metal trim redone? Some one who does quality work that isn't going to soak me either.

Fixing anything pot metal is expensive. I think I was told a rough idea is 5 bucks a pit. It is crazy labor intensive to repair right. If you can buy a better one do it. It will be cheaper.
