Don't use "Plate Right" on Webster St. in Dayton. Cost me $1000.00 to plate the chrome on the front of my truck. Not happy with it at all. That was back before you could buy it new, like ya can now. Coulda bought it now for about $750.00 .

There are some chrome platers in this area. If you are looking outside your state and want a contact, I will post the information for you.

I used the Bumper Boyz in CA. They re-chromed, and straightened my front and rear bumpers. Excellent job, and about $230 each.I also had my top door panel strips done, but they were $90 each,which I thought was high. Shipping would have been expensive,but they came to a big swap meet near me and I dropped my parts off, Then they came back to Daytona a month later and I picked them up, hence, no shipping! You can call them for more info at 800-815-9009. I was happy with the results,and the finish was alot nicer than NOS. Show Quality Good Luck:chevy:

Looks like the above might have some potential. I might stop in on my next trip over that way.

In all honesty I've heard nothing but horror stories about Bumper Boyz over on the Jalopy Journal.

Advanced Plating in Nashville is a top notch outfit. I had a tour of their facility while we were in Nashville for Goodguys last summer.

i too have used advanced plating top notch for real they are not the cheapest but when it come to chrome you truly get what you pay for http://www.advancedplating.com/

if you stop in you might as well have your parts with because you will want to use them they had a special on them on the powerblock a few months back

They're right behind the Titans stadium in an industrial park. It's just off the interstate and a breeze to find. I agree with bringing the parts with you that you want chromed if possible. You'll get a more accurate quote and won't have to ship em to Nashville.

No joke they are the best!! I have seen their work on bumpers carbs, and intakes and he is right, once you see their work u will want to use them if u can afford it. They were also on the show "how its made last year". All of the top builders use them, Scotts Hot Rods on this site used them on the AMBR car last year, chrome bill was $60,000!!!!!

Where ever you go, get to chatting and get a tour of the facility.
Not only do you see the everyday workmanship and quality but can
begin to appreciate all that goes into quality plating.

IMHO, our best local shop is Art Brass Plating in Seattle. Well over 100 years old and VERY good.

It doesn't hurt that I have a friend down there :) but any really good shop
should be happy to give a tour and explain the process.
