Thanks, but I was looking for a local re-chroming shop. And it's for valve covers.

Default You wont find one in L.I BUT

. I was told about a place in Bellmore. on Newbridge rd. but I was told they send out your parts to be chromed. also know that it's illegal in NYS to do chrome.It’s an EPA thing something about not being able to depose of the used chemicals

I sent some pieces out when I did my GTO years ago. The guy (Muscle Car Ray) who sent out the bumper got it back looking great but ran me around with the time. Told me 6 weeks and took 6 months.
The other pieces I sent out through Don's East Coast on Akron Street in Lindenhurst. Great job and done in the amount of time he told me it would be done. I was so happy that I sent a couple of more pieces out through him and had the same results.
I learned that a lot of these guys will wait until they have a large amount to be one and then send it all at once to get the best price. That's fine if your stuff is the last in the pile, but not so much so if you are one of the first. I think that's what happened with the first guy I used.
