Thanks to all who provided input. I had my 2000 valve cover done several
years ago for around the same price and that was a much more labor intense
process for the chromer because it's aluminum and it needed a great amount
of prep work. I understand the Hugh price increase thanks to the epa so I
guess I'll go with the re-chroming this winter. I'm sure I'll be happy with
the results, especially if it helps me get a trophy or two! Thanks again.

Steve

Group,

 

I sent out pictures of my 2000 grill to several re-chroming shops here in
Wisconsin. All returned quotes of around 250.00 to prep and re-chrome the
grill. The grill is rust and dent free but the original chrome is very dull.
Has anyone had components powder coated with the chrome-like paints that are
on the market? $250.00 just seems too expensive for such a small piece of my
project car. Any input is appreciated.
