    I have a friend in Lakeland Fl who does it very, very, very (did I say very?), very well. But I think he is booked up for awhile. If you can't find someone closer, let me know. Gary

    Thanks,
    Im a ways out on paint so he may be an option. My one and only guy in the state wants like $1200 to do the trim and theres only a few that need repair?

    We do stainless restoration here; it usually runs about 18-25/ft, for most trim 1" and narrower.

    A guy much closer to you that is even better at stainless than I is Rodney in Colorado. I've had him fix pieces I could not, his work is the best I have seen. Stainless is all he does. Tell him Josh from Indiana sent you. Like most reputable shops, turnaround is going to be at least 2 months.

    I can attest to Rod Preston's work...I had him do some of my '55 Cadillac stainless...he's good, fairly priced and sticks to his turn-around dates...you can use my name as well...prolly won't get you any discount, but he'll know who recommended him.

    Several companies advertize under stainless repair in the services offered section of Hemmings Motor News
