[FC] Chrome Plating

[Paul Steinberg]

I use Qual Krome in PA.  I believe that they have an additional facility
somewhere else, but don't remember where.  They are the only ones to
consistently do quality work that is guaranteed for as long as  you own the
car.  I have had some pieces done by others and they came back with more waves
than the ocean.  The grille is aluminum and is anodized, so it might be less
expensive to look for a NOS piece.  The headlamp rings aren't worth doing,
because you can find NOS ones all over the place.  They are the same for all
year across the GM line.  Bumpers are expensive to ship and expensive to
plate.  Consider finding someone local.  You can exchange bumpers at the car
shows with Bumper Boyz, but their quality isn't that great and won't last.
Door handles are difficult and expensive to do..... send to Qual Krome for
excellent results.  The same with the rest of the trim, but there isn't much
on a FC that is chrome.

  Hello Again!

  Can someone give me some help in selecting a company to replate my Rampside
  bumpers and trim (grill, headlight rings, and door handles)? There are many
  ads in Hemmings -- it is overwhelming.

  Thanks
