Do any of you have a recomendation for a chromer near nj. I have some bumpers and parts I need done. A frend told me dgm in philly. I have always heard that some of the chemicals are baned in jersey so it never comes out as good but don't really know if thats true.

I'm in Washington so I don't have an answer for you but just a comment based on the banned chemicals part of your post. I am guessing that only Trivalent chrome is available in NJ rather than the Hexavalent. No Trivalent is not as good, but that doesn't mean a quality shop can't produce a quality product with TV....it's a little more challenging.
