Reputable Chrome Plating Shop?
Does anyone know of reputable chrome plating shops. I would prefer to find one locally in North Texas but I would be willing to ship the grill and bumpers if needed.
Thanks |

Re: Reputable Chrome Plating Shop?
I've used two in Houston. One was very expensive, lots of celebrity's cars, and the job they did for me led me to look for another. The other is in a scuzzy part of town, but they did a good job and fairly reasonable. So if you get desperate, let me know and I'll send you the contacts.
I've heard there are some good ones in SA, but I've not gone there looking yet.

Check the border towns. They walk the parts over the bridge to their no EPA shop.

Re: Reputable Chrome Plating Shop?
Prices will vary by the condition of what you take in and in many cases the material it is made of.
I'd hit a couple events and when I saw rigs with nice chrome ask who did the chrome. It seems that there are several chrome shops in the area including a couple that seem to cater to the lowrider brigade.
