Default Bumper rechroming recommendations Portland area

It's time to get my bumpers re-chromed and I prefer keep my own original bumpers than exchange them.
So I hope to have it done locally but it seems that many of the good old local shops have disappeared.
Does anybody have any recommendations for re-chroming shops in the Portland area?

A quick Google search brought up plenty, but I'd probably go with these guys:

Thanks JETninja,
Yes JBs was recommended to me by a friend who had work done there a number of years ago and was very satisfied.
But apparently JB's no longer does their own rechroming and now is simply the middle man as they send the work out (to who knows where).
Since my car has had a few accidents in its life I prefer to stick with the bumpers that are on it and fit well rather than having somebody send them out for me and risk getting someone else's old rechromed cores, that may not line up as easily
So I'm hoping somebody knows of a local shop still in business around the Portland area, (if such thing still exists?).
But I certainly do appreciate your assistance

Do some research, talk with the Shop. It's only a process, and the shop they chose may do good work. Worth looking into at least. Doubt a shop specializing in Hot Rods would use a 2nd rate chrome shop for very long, Hot Rodders are as picky as Vette owners!

I hear ya, that makes a lot of sense and I may end up going that route since I'm not hearing any other recommendations.
Thanks Jet Ninja
