rechroming in madison area

Hey Guys

I was wondering who does rechroming bumper pieces in the Madison area? i bought a lightly used middle bumperette for the Coronet and was looking to get it rechromed. Anyone with an idea it would be appreciated.

Mike

bumperette? sounds dirty!

there is a guy that does it over near the englehart center... like right behind it a few blocks down. ill ask dad tomorrow and get more info, but last thing we had done by him seemed really expensive...

^ Old small shop in like a stripmall shop setting? I think I tried to get an IC pipe done way back when there. It was going to be more than what the pipe cost new

I know some aquarium folk (Yes aquariums, don't ask) have sent some things off to Chromemasters with great results....think OCC. Not local, but.....

I know in most cases its cheeper to buy a repo bumper then it is to get a old one rechromed, unless they dont make them for your car Mikey.

madison polishing & plating. the guy is expensive as fuck, an asshole & the quality is shit. my dad used him for all the chrome on his '31 5 window & 1/2 the pieces need to be re-done.

There's a place down in DBQ that does chrome work but you're going to pay for it.

Call Al @ Keystone 249-4775. Tell him your buddy Zac said to call. They can do chrome work, and something that small shouldn't cost too much. They will have to ship it to Minneapolis, but the work I've had done there over the years has turned out well.

just sayin' my ol' man spent big $ doing alot of chrome parts on a very high end street rod & the chrome is bubbling big time on the most obvious part of the grille shell & the guy wont do anything about it. seriously sucks after the car was assembled.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'm kind of behind the barrel on this, the piece I have is looks like shit compared to the rest of the new bumpers.

Hey what do you think if i just sanded it down and painted it body color to match the rest of the car?


Here is the piece.

I called them, and Al said oh yeah? How's gay Zac doing? I said you know taking it up the ass. Then we both laughed for awhile.

Well played, sir

I do what I can around here

I'd have my dad sell you a nice one cheap but he says he's keeping it as a spair for his 70 6 pak bee, sorry Mikey. Do me a favor tho and before spring comes get one of those OCC "Mikey Rules" T shirts, thank you.

Lol Thanks for the offer VG. I only paid $30 for this one so it will work out even if i have to pay to get it chromed

Mike

PS I need to check this shirt out!
