I have been very happy with Librandi's Chrome in Harrisburg PA. Lifetime warranty as long as you own the car. They stuck to the deadline even finished the job two weeks earlier then promised.

LiBrandi's is near the the Airport in Harrisburg, PA.  

I have used them many times with outstanding results and have never heard of any complains from others either in person or postings on this website.

If they are small parts you should have no problems shipping the parts.

From what I have heard Paul's Chrome is also good.  http://www.paulschrome.com

 

Neither one is cheap, but then again you get what you pay for.

Paul's Chrome did some bumpers and other smaller parts for me a few years ago. They were not cheap but the quality of the work was top notch.

I was not in a big hurry so I took the parts to Fall Hershey. Their representative looked at them then took them back to their shop so I only had to pay for shipping back to me when the job was done. Since the OP has a few small parts then shipping both ways should not be all that expensive compared to bumpers.

I think Martin Metals or Frankford Plating (they merged) are still in business in Philadelphia. Check Hemmings "services"

 Martin Metals is no longer listed and Frankford Plating has some bad yelp reviews

Put me in for Librandi's in Harrisburg, they have been in the chrome business for at least 35 years and know what an old car owner expects.  Last time I was there the owner was showing his own 1948 Town & Country at Hershey so these are car people who know what they are doing.  No chrome is cheap so you might as well at least be confident you will not be disappointed, Todd C

I too have used Librandi's and been very happy.  Long lead time but quality work. As far as cost goes, it's best not to talk about that, a small box of parts can end up costing thousands. 

 

For pot metal work, I'd highly recommend R&D Finishing in Elizabethton, Tenn,  http://rdfinishing.net/    They'll save detail and do a great job......

We use Librandi's.

Lakeside Chrome in Conneaut, Ohio.  Tracy is a great guy, member of AACA and puts out the finest at a very reasonable cost.  http://customchromerestoration.com/989890.html

Another vote for Librandi. Life time warranty a big plus. Parts were delivered on time as promised. I picked them up on site, but they were wrapped extremely well for shipping anywhere in the world. John
