Like everyone else, I've had good and bad experiences with chrome shops over the past 25 years. :(

I'm being "forced" to go back again in order to get some of my '31 Landau parts completed. chevy

Does anyone know anything about a Chroming Place in Alberta, Canada that is suppose to be good? Supposedly they pick up and deliver to the States.

Hi Bill,

Let's see...

I have been using a shop in Philadelphia, PA for over 30 years now. Martin's of Philly

215 331 5565

I have tried several other shops in the interim, in an attempt to save some $$. I was ALWAYS disappointed with the results.

There is nothing in this world more beautiful than the toothy grin of a '60 Corvette grille done by Martin's - as it reflects from itself and within the surround. They are true craftsman and they stand behind their work! :)

That's my professional opinion....

Bill, the last time I asked JYD he said the answer is Master Plating (California?).


If you have old Chevrolets, other old Chevrolets will find out where you live.

Thanks... I'll give them a shot... I've got relatives there, so they could drop it off and pick it up. Of course the irony is that some of the parts that I want to chrome are the ones that I bought at Hershey, PA - had them shipped to Seattle, and now will return them to Philly for final processing! ha! Oh, the things that we do to give our old Chevys a facelift! chevy :love:
