A-W Custom Plating, 9 mile rd in Eastpoint great work, reasonable price, average 5 month wait for part return.

Fini Finish, Mound rd in Warren, beautiful work, expensive, 3-4 month wait.

I have most of my work done at A-W, never disappointed. My rich friends go to Fini.

Ask around at motorcycle shops. They will know who to go to.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I have used B&L and was happy. No chrome is cheap in Michigan. You can get a good deal thru Tri-City chrome but you will have to ship.

I will be in the same situation with my 1971 Demon. I will PROBABLY go with AMD. I do not need show chrome AND cost will be a factor. But I still will get an estimate from the recommended platers for my current bumpers.


Keep old mopars alive.

I need to replace the rear bumper on my Duster eventually, and I will
most likely just use a AMD bumper too. My car is not a show poodle..
it's a street/strip car. drive

Whomever you choose to go with, ask if they base copper coat and buff. That will tell you a lot about their quality of work.

Just like painting, the real time and cost is in the prep work.


Master, again and still

Why the hell should it take 3 MONTHS to do one bumper?

Most places do not use copper anymore. Usually double nickel & chrome. Lots of motorcycle chrome platers have small tanks - got to find places with big enough tanks to do bumpers. Librandi's in Middletown, PA. is also a very good plater.

Especially if you don't require show quality chrome, just have it chrome wrapped.
