WayneK Jan 31st, 02, 6:07 AM I have a few little items to be re-chromed. I am in E.PA area. Any suggestions as to where to go? or places to STAY away from ? (no bashing please) Wayne ACES #1556 TCG #186 Dana67elky Jan 31st, 02, 1:35 PM You didn't say what kinf of parts you need to rechrome. If it's plastic try Cotech in San Jose Calif. Very pleased with the job they did for me on the das bezels of my elky. I'll see if I have their address. gb70 Jan 31st, 02, 3:17 PM I used Delta Plating in Stockton, CA (209)948-2768 ask for Doug 7-4 pacific. I had bumpers, hinges, and misc. parts re-chromed there and was pleased. There are several steps in chrome. First they strip your parts of the old chrome. Next any dents and or repairs can be welded on site. Now parts go to Polishing to smooth out any cosmetic issues. Copper plating is the next step, which can be done several times depending on the condition of the items. Polish again followed by the Nickle. The Nickle is the most buildup of plating. It provides a corrosive resistance to your parts. The build up is generaly .005" of an inch. The last step in the tanks is the Chrome. This is only a "flash" at high amparege. Be sure where ever you go that you package your parts VERY WELL for UPS. The first 100.00 is insured thru UPS but I would insure your parts both ways for the full replacement value. Delta has done many diffrent years of parts for the auto restorer and they are quite knowledgable in providing you with a good job on your make and model car. This time of year you are looking at a 2-4 week lead time, which is not that bad compared to what I have read from others. Hope this helps out. ------------------ myLS6 (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/gb70::ls6.jpg) WayneK Jan 31st, 02, 4:39 PM To clarify.
