Re-Chroming Bumpers in SoCal, Recommendations or Alerts Options

[andys]

Looking for DD quality re-chroming in SoCal (LA area prefered). I've got these two so far:

The Bumper Shop: Mixed results; some say ok, others say stay away. Good prices.

Bumper Man: ??

Any others I should look at or avoid?

Thanks,

They did OK work for a DD, but it wasn't what we asked for.

The only other place I know is Artistic Silver Plating. They aren't DD quality. Their basic chrome on my Fuchs was what many consider show chrome, and their show chrome is "by the hour, until it's perfect."

I suggest going to the Auto Swap Meet at Veteran's Stadium. A couple of different bumper guys show up. Check all their prices, and take a good look at their work. They always bring their best work to show off.

Beware though... Make sure you specify that you want your bumpers back, not a chromed set that they have. We had a shop give us back a set of bumpers that we knew weren't what we turned in. They had been straightened, and ours had never been bent.
