Unfortunately, we can't. It is a different plating process.
We stick to the original, traditional "Hexvalient" chrome. Most other shops use "Trivalient" chrome that does not match the color and shade of most parts original chrome or stainless steel.
We can provide a "ballpark" price, but for an official quote we need to see the part and its condition. After the quote, an additional work to complete the job we signed up for comes at no additional charge.
Yes, a 50% deposit is required to start work. Shipping and the balance are to be paid upon completion. Payment can be cash, check, money order, or credit card (Mastercard and Visa only).
Parts can be shipped through the USPS, UPS, or Fed Ex. Please make sure you have an inventory list with your name, address, phone number, model name and year, and the name of each part. Or if you're local, come on down!
Turnaround time varies, but usually anywhere from a few weeks for smaller projects or parts, to a few months for larger.
We do NOT chrome modern car rims and we have fazed out the plating of full sized bumpers.
