Chrome plating shops
Hey team, I am looking for recommendations for a very good reputable chrome shop in the midwest. I have a OEM 68 front bumper that needs very minor straightening and rechroming. If you have had work done and it's been a number of years now and your still happy with it, I need a recommendation. Thanks

Tri city plating was awesome for me I am not sure how far you are from them, but my bumpers look perfect.

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Re: Chrome plating shops
Dan's polishing and plating in Adamsville, Tennessee did my 71 convertible bumpers and door handles about 5-6 years ago. I was very satisfied with the quality. It wasn't exactly cheap, but they are far better quality than the repops. Front and rear bumper,s and both door handles and push buttons cost me $1,100.00. If I had to do it again, which I will on the El Camino I'm now working on, I will take them there again.

Re: Chrome plating shops
Tri-City is the choice of many. They do excellent work for reasonable price (compared to others). Mine from them look perfect.

JChilders, can you tell me how about how long ago they did your bumpers? They had one real bad review out of about 6 to 9 good reviews, that's why I'm asking.

Re: Chrome plating shops
Just sold a '69 with a set of Tri City replates on it, nine years in, they still look like mirrors.

Thanks to everyone for your recommendations and comments. I just ordered a finished front bumper for my 68 SS elky from Tri-City. It sounds like I will be very happy with it.

The front bumper that I ordered from Tri-City showed up the other day and I was very pleased. Thanks again for all the referrals.
