Re: Rechrome or new grill GMC

A few things I've noticed, re-pop will surface rust sitting in the garage, mine did after a year. It actually cleaned up like new but it scared me, I'll probably try protecting it with clear coat or wax...dunno. Fit was poor but the bodyman seemed to be able to get the entire re pop front grill, buckets, top bar and eyebrows not too bad at all, the juries still out because it's apart again. All in all I'd go repop again given the cost and difficulty in finding a straight core.
As far as rechrome, met a gent who had his done at great expense and is in a protracted dispute with the shop that did the work because it was rusting within the year. Can't blame the Chinese for that one!
