I used a local guy last year here in AZ to re-chrome my Rear bumper (15 months ago) and the bumper is already starting to rust, he says he only guarantees his work for 12 months. Can anyone recommend someone else that guarantees there work for a longer period?
Thx, Norm

Nj Steve used these guys and he says he is happy and picky. I'm actually going to send them a few bumpers. They charge 295 and eight weeks turnaround. http://www.tricityplating.com/

Ditto on Tri-city. They did a great job for me. Fast turnaround and guaranteed for life.

I used Faith Plating a number of times. They have a web site www.bumper.com and they claim to be the worlds largest bumper re chrome shop. The did one for me 3 years ago and it still looks new.1-2 week turnaround. They told me they do some insane number like 100 bumpers a day.. I think they charged something like $150 also, I really had a good experience with them.. They are in California and seems alot of the California Hot rod shops use them.. I would give them a call before using anyone else.I seriously doubt you will find it cheaper and quicker... which normally doesn't go hand in hand with quality, but it did in my case...

I wanted to use tricity, but they couldn't get their act together. I tried to order on the phone, they took my # and said they'd get back to me in a couple weeks when the bumper was done, but I never heard back from them. This happened twice, it's really frustrating because I heard great things about their work and was ready to spend the money.

Tri-City is the way to go! My bumpers, 71' GP were fantastic looking $475 rear $430 front. Lifetime guarantee, so they may be doing them again in about 20 yrs if I am lucky to still be around. Dave K.
