I just had all my chrome done by John at J&P Custom Chrome Plating in Portland Indiana. I get "Super Street" quality and it usually great. Once in a while I have him redo a piece if it's not perfect. The hub caps he just did turned out beautiful. He does all the plating himself, and he usually has quite a backlog so it may be a few months before he can get to it. I have had him do the chrome on quite a few cars. Reasonably priced considering that all quality chrome is expensive.

Your going to be asked what grade of chrome you want. Show chrome is the most expensive and time consuming. Also realize the backs of the bumper chrome is NOT bright. Same with the bumperetts.....

I'm wrapping up the exterior work on my '36 Westchester and am down to getting the hubcaps re-chromed. Seems we don't do any large scale plating here in North Carolina. So, to paraphrase Blanche DuBois I'll have to depend on the kindness of strangers to get your recommendations for plating shops. It's kinda scary sending parts to parts unknown for plating, So, who do you know and trust? Anything particularly special about your recommendation? And THANKS!
