Chrome plating recommendations

EvilZ · Post by **EvilZ** » Tue Jul 11, 2017 9:16 am

I'm in the process of restoring a Datsun 2000 Roadster for my wife and need to have several parts re chromed. Aside from the front bumper everything is in pretty good shape. The front bumper will need a little work but shouldn't be terrible by any means.

Aside from graves in Florence who else should I get quotes from? It looks like the Nashville area has several places that have decent reviews. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Let me get a hold of my Dad. He would know a good place.

He said try Leonard's Plating Shop in Nashville.

Dan's Polishing shop in Adamsville TN is good if it's not too far gone.

Thank so man. I'll add them both to the list.

I used Graves Plating in Florence 20 years ago and was happy, but I have no idea what they are like today.

Graves is good. They keep booked though. And the quality of your part will play a huge part in it. So having an email of pictures ready to send over will help.

I'm planning on doing that this weekend. I figure I've got at least a year before the car is road worthy but I want to get the ball rolling on stuff that could take several months.

I know graves does great work but I just wanted to see if I had any other semi local options.

Dad said some of their old timers left at Graves so the quality might not be as good.

Or, the price for better.

We send all ours to Advanced Plating.
