Bumpers rechromed?

Like everything else...shop around. I've had a lot of chrome done over the years by a local shop, never paid ridiculous prices like I'm reading on this post. The process is labor intensive, so start with good parts to get re-plated.

In My part of the country plating cost have gone out of site I think its because of the laws that are past to protect the safety of the toxic chemicals.

I'm in this problem myself, plater wanted $1000 bucks a piece for the rears.
Stainless units are NOT in stock anywhere.
So I painted mine for now.

What paint did you use? Happy with the results? I need to paint mine. They are currently powder coated black.

300 sounds good to me the Buick we have been Working on the bill so far is 9000.00 and we are only about 40 percent done with it. Can buy a nice model a for what we will have in the chrome alone.
 
About 15 years ago there was an outfit in Southern California that would send your bumpers over the border for replating in Mexico where there were no environmental restrictions like we have in the U.S. I wonder if that is still an option?
