    I thinking about getting the taillight housings on my '58 Ford rechromed. I've used a couple of rechroming services for other projects but not really satisfied with the results. Anyone used a service that they would suggest I try?

    They look really good hrp.
    Overhere we had good plating shops, even close to where I live, but they all were shut down some 10 years ago due to environmental laws enforcement.
    There are others available, but I dont get good feedbacks from people that use theyr services.

    I had my bumpers and parking lights done at Dans polishing and chrome in Adamsville TN. They are triple plated and I was real pleased with the work. He gave me a shop tour and showed me how they do everything, seemed real knowledgeable. I didnt do the grill because I hope to build a custom stainless grill one day.

    I believe I paid $450 front, $500 rear, and $175 for each parking light and extension. The parking lights are pot metal by the way, and he knew what to do with them. So $1300 for both bumpers (without guards) and both parking lights and extensions, and dash trim piece, triple plated. He said it was $500 for the grill to be triple plated, at the time, 4 years ago.
