Default chrome plating aluminum

I have some parts that I made out of 6061 aluminum that I would like to have chrome plated. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good plating shop that could handle this.
Thanks, Chad

I worked in supply chain for a manufacturer of motorcycles here in WI. Aluminum obviously can be chromed but requires a different process than steel. This was a local vendor we used; they had a separate facility for aluminum.

Thanks William,
I called them and they said they only do large quantities. I'm only needing 10 parts plated.
