Preferably somewhere in North Texas (diesel is expensive) Amarillo-Lubbock- Dallas area. Any suggestions? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 3 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 3 | There are two types of chrome shops for hexavalent and trivalent that I have used. The only shop that I know that still does the hexavalent is in Gainesville, TX is called North Texas Quality Chrome. They are the best and the most expensive. I used them for my bumper. Ask for Jackie Peebles.

the other company I used is in Dallas is Pulido Plating in Southeast Dallas.

They use the less expensive method and sometimes a yellow tint in the chrome process call trivalent. They are very good for smaller items.
My two cents...Camaro Guy | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,084 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,084 | How about recommendations of Chrome platers near Houston?
