Default Chrome Plating Bumpers Southern IN?

Got my bumpers stripped this weekend. Now I need to find a place to re-chrome them that isn't too far away from Southern Indiana? Would rather not ship if I don't have to.

Any ideas???

I know its a bit of a drive, but since you already have them stripped, what about Brown's Plating in Paducah, Ky?

The local LKQ will send them to their plating facility in Brainerd, MN. I've had several sets of bumpers chromed there and have been happy with the quality.

Don't know how far they are from you but Tri City Plating in Elizabethton, TN is very popular over on the Chevelle Site. Supposedly one of the best in the country at decent prices.

Thanks guys!

Paducah isn't far from me at all. I'll see if we have a Keystone.

I was just told by someone on their 800-number that they no longer offer this service.

In Hagerston,In :Custom Metal Finishing Indiana,LLC www.chromeplatingin.com Great pot metal work. Reasonable. Saw some of Paul's work at Charlotte Autofair. These guys are (opinion) better. Prices middle of the road. Cannot go wrong with Tri-City Plating for bumpers and warranty.

Default saint louis chrome

I have dealt with these guys. They send all the work to Arizona. I was not real happy with their work. Some ripples and scuffs not cleaned off. If you are going to Saint Louis anyway try these guys. I have had good luck and they are competent. I think that they are in line with other places price wise. These guys are the "GO TO" shop here.
