I know you said "local", but I think that it's in the relative area (drivable) from Philly.

Years ago I used Martin's Metal Specialties up in the Tacony area of Philly for rechroming a 50 Studebaker. They've advertised for many years in Hemmings and a few other resto periodicals. I thought they did too much grinding and too little plating and polishing to fill pits. Original pieces were pitted, but edge definition and letters were good before plating, rounded edges and indistinct lettering after...

QUOTE(Qarl @ Apr 30 2006, 06:33 AM) Pottstown Plating Works does not do chrome, they referred me to this company, got a quote of $450 for a rear bumber rechrome. They said it would be 3 to 4 months wait time until they could do it. Librandi’s Plating at 717-944-9442 or by email www.carchrome.com. |
