Vila Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I don't know of anyone that does chrome plating close to Fort Wayne.I use Librandi's in Middletown, PA. http://www.carchrome.com/beta/librandi/about.htm They are just a few miles from Hershey PA and two blocks from where I work. Their work is great, but you pay the price for premium work.I have heard Paul's Chrome is also good, but I have no personal experience using them. They are located in Evans City, PA http://www.paulschrome.comOn other forums I have heard of bad results from some of places that do the work for much less money, so like I said earlier you get what you pay for.At Librandi's it cost me $600 to get two tail light assemblies and two door handles and buttons plated approximately 6 months ago for my 1962 Triumph TR4. They came out looking like jewelry from Tiffany'sVila1933 Chevrolet1962 Triumph TR41984 BMW 633 CSi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Shipping costs are high these days, so for large thingssuch as bumpers, having a good chrome plater within convenient driving distance is a plus. For shipping, youare paying TWICE--to and from the plater. Delivering items person-to-person might give a bit more assurance,and it may save a couple of hundred dollars in shipping.I have used Librandi's as well and found their work tobe excellent.

Car Geek Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I am using QualKrome in Erie, PA for window trim and small items. I plan on using Librandi's for my bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 If you aren't in a hurry Keystone Automotive does a very good job with bumpers and if they have a branch in your area they will even pick them up. They only do bumpers unfortunately. We might not use them for a top of the line concourse restoration but their work is definitely show quality triple chrome plating. Great quality for the price.

Also used Paul's Chrome and they did very good work. D&G was much better on the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
