Hello What are some options for high quality chrome work in the CT, RI, MA area ? I'm looking to get front and rear bumpers done. What companies is everybody using?
I only use Tri-City Plating in eastern Tennessee, I don't care what it costs to get the cores there, sometimes they have your bumpers in stock and ask for a core after you receive theirs. Last one was a 69 Dodge Sweptline from bumper and I couldn't get the brackets off, so they told me to send it anyway and they will get the brackets back to me, and they did with no shipping charge for the brackets!
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
This place, Jon Wright's Custom Chrome Plating in Grafton, Ohio has been doing quality plating for over 50 years. Maybe too pricy for most but if quality is what a customer is looking for that this is the place I recommend.
This video is long and not too exciting BUT it shows just exactly why all chrome platers seem to be expensive but you'll see the reason why. Grab a beer, coffee or beverage and watch how triple chrome plating is done.

Tri City is very good but their prices have went up quite a bit. The last one I had done was over $800
All things considered with the economy, that's not bad IMO. We have to remember the cost of chemicals, transportation of, equipment, repair parts, wages, taxes, insurance for the business, employees etc, have ALL gone up
I've seen Librandis work, its good, they've been in the game a long time. You're gonna pay for their work though. When I had bumpers done, I gave my money to tri city, and was blown away. Librandis wanted 3xs the amount for the same work.

I wasn`t complaining, just was shocked how much they went up in a year or or so.

Now we know why sooooo many newer vehicles don't have chrome, but rather painted plastic everything.
