Re-Chroming Bumpers Question:

[Captain D]

Hi,

I just wanted to write & see if anyone has taken their bumpers for re-chroming around the Baltimore, Philadelphia, Harrisburg area. If so, any positive recommendations specifically?

Thanks for your time,
Aaron

I sent mine to auto medics they did good. I had my bumpers rechromed in AK for $200 for the front and $140 for the rear. In VA beach they wanted $500!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have several ads in Mopor Collectors Guide. They done my 72 bumpers and I was pleased. I had sandblasted the backsides before I shipped them and they painted the backsides before shipping back.........a very nice unexpected touch.   J

I have heard good things about Tri City Plating in Elizabethton, Tennessee.  I think they go to several of the car shows during the season.

It depends what type of chrome you are looking for. I've heard very good things about Paul's, & they're chrome quality looks very nice. However, my buddy wasn't very pleased. He had some pot metal belt moulding ends done for his convertible. Seems the chrome is now too thick & the part doesn't fit the way it should. He was able to work around it, but he wasn't too happy.

I've had bumpers & other pieces done by Martin's of Philly. Be prepared to have a huge, fat wallet ready. Very expensive, but I have yet to see Charger bumpers that are nicer.

Frankford Plating is also very good at pot metal, they are in PA I think in Philly or close to Philly as well.
