Default Re-Chrome shops?

I was looking at my trunk strips and tail light housings. They are about the last and worst pieces on the car. I was wondering about how much it would coust and weather or not anyone would do the job. These pieces have some pock or pitting marks. I guess they would grind down the surface of these and then copper plate them, then nickel, then chrome. My main question is how much damage can be repaired? How much for two trunk strips and two tail light housings? I think these parts would be about 1300$ to replace.

Not too long ago I inadvertantly put a gash on one of the spinners on my knockoff wheels. I was sick -- but it was my fault. I took it to Charger Metal Works, 2127 Margaret St, Phila PA, 215-289-9227. The owner is Jerry Martin. They did a mgnificant job - the spinner was perfect. All lines and corners were sharp as before. They actually removed the chrome via a electro-chemical process, fixed the part, then re-chromed it. I recommend them highly.
