I know there has been recent posts about this topic, but I couldn't find them. I came across another company in Amarillo, Texas. 806 Customs, Performance and Autocare. Chroming and hydro dipping. Looks like they do decent work. Messaged about my glass bumpers. They get $750 for the pair including stripping and prep work, since mine are already painted. Takes about a month. They look like they do pretty decent work and have a good reputation. Anyone know anything about this company. https://www.facebook.com/croniccustomcoatings/

Are you comfortable with a spray gun? There's some stuff out there that works great Except for spray cans, never sprayed before in my life. And I can't find anyone local who can do this either.

Apparently the chroming paint that is out there is yellowing after some time in the sun.

a competent wrapper can do it with NO WRINKLES. One guy in town who can do it wants $450 bumper to wrap it. Too rich for my blood. Might just have them shot in silver and cleared. My paint and body guy owes me a favor, anyway.

I would love to see somebody wrap one without wrinkles around the ends. Would give me hope.
