Looking for Chrome grill surround

Hi folks -

I am new here (but not to cars) and I am looking for a 67/68 grill trim in Chrome. I have found them in stainless, but I want a very shiny finish so hoping there is a vendor out there or a way I can polish mine.

Has anyone seen any available?

Great site, lots of great posts!!

There is a company in Austin that did it, can't find the link now I know they will polish them to a shine but without clearing them they will go back to a sheen look so I really wanted chrome.

Yours looks INCREDIBLE! That is what I want on mine as well. Just a little touch that the other trucks don't have.....

I had mine media blasted and plan to just polish it with Wenol every so often. I haven't polished it since having it blasted two years ago and it still looks great. *It has not been outside though.
