Re: After market grill’s? 1953 GMC

I have lots of parts chromed, I have found that there are no good chrome shops in the PNW. There are to many restriction or they just know what there doing. But I did run across a guy (Willy Shiny) in California, who does Harley Wheels.He takes all the parts to Mexico and has them done there,in Mexico they can still use all the chemicals that destroy the environment and they do an outstanding job .I have talked to him,real nice guy and I sent him some parts other than wheels and he got them chromed.I has been a few years since I did this but might be worth a try.And a third of the price in Portland

My brother has a friend with a chrome shop in the SF bay area who moved it to Mexico for that reason. And a LOT of businesses did that!
