Chrome, Royal Silver in Norfolk is the only "local" chrome shop I'm aware of.

Also, Advance Plating mentioned above is a top shelf company, their work is perfect.

You might find that buying a chrome grill would be cheaper than getting one plated.

I just called Royal Silver and was told I can buy a new one for a third of what it would cost to rechrome it!

That's generally true, but you also have to consider that the quality of the chrome you're going to get is usually also 3 times as good. It really all depends what you're after as a final result.

Have you ever considered using products like:

http://www.alsacorp.com/products/mir...irrachrome.htm
http://www.innate.com/Paint/Chrome/Chrome.htm

I've used the innate product in the past and had great results with it.

Hmmm, what did you use it on & how well has it held up?
