Re: Electroplating of El Paso

I had my hubcaps done at Elect. Of El Paso around 9 years ago. Chroming 4 caps with shipping was less than $200. Chrome look good but it wasn't show chrome quality but that's not what I paid for. Chrome peeled from one cap and they must of dropped another cap because it had a dent. I called and mailed them back. They fixed the issues with no problem.

Now at the time Paul's. Chrome quoted me $600-$700 for show chrome.

Now I wanted to chrome my grill pieces also, I went to a local chrome shop in Pittsburgh. They didn't want to do the hoops, said there was a good chance they would get damaged during the polishing process. Said they may have to hand polish with a dremel style tool. So the hoops and headlight trim was gonna cost $550, this was 12 years or so ago.

Let us know what you decide, Nate
