Yes Nickel.

 The reflectors were done by Frank Nance plating near Pittsburgh PA.

 Below another batch of parts I had plated at Niagara Plating. Niagara Falls, NY.

 Each time I have had plating done there has been a decided bump in price.

With the estimates I was given I chose not to replate the incorrect 1926 Master Radiator shell and painted it instead. Also, the bumpers I had previously posted on which would have cost thousands instead of hundreds for the powder coating I had done.

 When I had my 1925 Standard shell done in 2016 LeBrandi's quoted me $650 and 4 week turn around. It ended up being $829. and 8 weeks+. My Standard (modern) recore was $695. in 2019. My Master recore in 2021 was over $900. I also had to source a better radiator since the 1925 tanks were junk.

I do have 1926 tanks being used. Even though the tanks were better they still needed straightened.

 A puller I made to pull up the mashed in filler neck.

 The 1926 radiator had a bad core but better tanks.  I painted the shell with the brightest silver with minimal metalic I could find. The shroud painted in aluminum/silver like paint. I kept the tanks clean brass. The core "Radiator Black".

                                 2022 with 1926 shell and recore.

The reflectors are still pretty bright but in the photo there is a yellow/green foliage reflection. I have also had spare set of reflectors resilvered as well as a set of headlight buckets powdercoated. Now I am depressed just thinking of all the money I have spent on the cosmetics on my 2 cars. And they still need repainted!
