NAUSET Railings and Navigation Lamp: Source for re-chroming or replacement parts

Q1: what are sources for re-chroming older parts from the railing from a NAUSET 16 boat like the rail bases or the rail side standoffs or the combined sidelight navigation lamp and its chocks?
Q2: what are sources for new replacement parts for the rail standoffs or rail bases for the railings or for the combined sidelight lamp for a NAUSET 16 boat?
BACKSTORY. I have contacted chrome re-plating shops to have parts redone from the railings and the combined sidelight lamp and chocks, and those shops gave truly astounding estimated costs, pricing at $1,200 to $1,500 for a job that would have about 25 pieces in total.
I've been warned about the dubious quality of Boston Whaler reproduction parts sold by a Texas marine stainless parts manufacturer.
Seadog and Taco marine don't have suitable parts.
