Looking for Bumper Re-Chroming Source

I have been seeking a source to re-chrome the Front and rear bumpers on my 69. I'm in Jacksonville, Fl and can't find a local shop here. From what I have read here on the Forum and Repro prices it seems about the same cost to re-chrome vice buy new. Any thoughts on that or what Company to go with? Thanks.

Try Rick Applegate at Areba Services. They are in the Jackson, TN area. Nice work and fair prices. Don't have the number handy, but there is a web site.

Advanced Plating is in TN also. They have done work for me in the past. Pretty and thick too. They also do pot metal where most places will not. I would use them again.

Thanks, I will check out both places. I'm thinking the bill will be about $1000 for all 7 parts. Still better than new (junk) Repo parts.

I have used Tri-City Plating in ELizabethtown TN. They have a web site. Very nice work and fair pricing. The repros for Corvettes that I have seen are junk.
