Default Where to get bumpers re-chromed

I know that Zip does it for 200 a piece. Anywhere else to do this? I live in NJ.

Doc,

Here is a place in Middletown, Pa. near Harrisburg, that does nice work.
They are at many of the car shows at Carlisle. Give 'em a call!

I've used Advanced Plating in Nashville, Tn. with great results. Their number is 800-588-6686. Ask for Tom. They also have a web site at: http://www.advancedplating.com/

Advanced has done a lot of work for me and does a great job, The owner used to live 10 miles from me. They are usually booked out about 4 weeks. Paul's Chrome Plating in Evans City Pa. 1-800-245-8679 did a fine job on my windshield posts and they turned them around in less than 2 weeks. Either one has a good track record. Save the Wave.

Doc:
I used Qual Krom in Erie,Pa. for the tail lights , rear horizontal bumpers,and windshield frame ends on my 57. The parts were very pitted and really in lousy condition. Qual Krom made them pit free and the plating is deep and beautiful. Their prices are reasonable considering what replacement pieces cost, the problem is the long delivery time- sometimes as much as 15 weeks.

Wil-E-Bob,

I am glad to hear a good review of Qual Krom's work. I placed my bumpers and vent window frames with them in June. It's nice to hear they are in good hands!

I agree with KCWILD62.
Went to Carlisle last year and took Todd Librandi's card. The pieces he had out on display were beautiful.

Another one is Paul’s Chrome Plating inc. Seen them at Carlisle too, and again had really beautiful stuff out.
There located in Pa
90 Patterson st
Evans City PA 16033
(724 538 3367
(800) 245 8679

If your going to Carlisle this year, I'm sure they will be there to
Good Luck! :cheers:

Ed
