Default New chrome on windshield side post

Can someone please direct me to a good location to have my windshield side post rechromed? I am thinking about taking them to Orlando on the 26th to see if I can find someone there that will do them. I have heard a lot of bad press on getting something rechromed. I don't want to be one of those statistics. Thanks, you guys know some stuff. Don't know what I would do without yalls help. I am from the south, Can't you tell.

My stuff went to Rick at ArebaChrome. I also just sent a bunch of stuff there for my 72 I'm doing. He flash chromed both the hubcaps and windshield molding (After Tracy Crisler - Project63 - did an incredible job getting the dings out and polishing them). Nice guy to work with and reasonably priced.

I had mine done in Orlando at a shop called Quality Pot Metal Works last summer... The guy did a great job for what I found to be a reasonable price. If you are in Orlando, you can stop by his shop and see his work (he tends to quit work early and he is a small shop, so he closes up.) Here is his number..(407) 290-2620. He should be able to quote you over the phone... He did mine and had at least one other set in the shop while I was there....I think it took about 2 months..
