Does anyone have a rechroming shop they recommend? Mine just stopped doing automotive work. Dave

I used local to me ‘Auto & Truck Bumper’ in Hayward Ca, (San Francisco area), did my 46 grill, needed some straightening and welding and price reasonable. Is holding up well so far. They have a 46 chev truck on their business card and he called out my grill straight away…. IIRC under 1k in ‘22. I did tell him after he gave me the quote that he call me if they needed to do more than expected, as “ well, we could have…” was not going to be acceptable….
I’m pretty sure their production shop is out in the valley, the Bay Area greenies don’t tolerate plating shops… Chuck
homer52, how about Homer's Custom Chrome shop? Is this your shop that recently stopped chroming?

No, I was referring to the chrome shop in Seattle that I had used on 3 rebuilds. I need to rechrome the lower grill on my new 41 GMC COE.

I tried looking Art Brass' web site and it's no longer there.
I found a shop in California (LA area), but that was just a web search, and I can't make any recommendations. CalChrome.com

There are still quite a few chromers here in the SF Bay area, such as atbumpers.com located in Hayward, CA. Hopefully you can find more local chromers to help cut down the freight costs.
