47-55.1 Reputable Chrome Plating Shop? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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

I dont know of any in TX ,but Better get ready for sticker shock....chrome plating is extremely expensive....I was quoted 300 each to have a couple of mirrors rechromed at a local 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.

Are you $%@#ing me? That is crazy. I would think down here in the South would be a little more reasonably priced.

Thanks

Be aware...prices and quality will vary

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