Chrome Plating Q.C. area

frzein · 11-17-2009, 02:55 PM

Anybody around the qc area (Moline) know anyone who does chrome plating for a decent price? Ive got a 6" stack i picked up from 2 & 92 but it needs dipped because its flaking. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

Have you thought about black? looks pretty good as well as chrome

I thought about black but i got some chrome on the truck already and think it would look better chromed. and yes, i already thought about the paint...

There is a place in South Chicago Heights that does polishing and great powder coating work......they might also do chrome work

They are Coating Specialties:

Welcome to www.CoatingSpecialties.com

I have had several items powder coated there, with great results

Not sure how far they are from you though.......

Theres a good plating shop in sterling IL, or I have a 6" mitre to 5" chrome sitting in my basement.

Well, thanks for the input guys, but i think im gonna just let it flake off. Its stainless anyways so ill just strip it and polish it. Most places ive contacted want like 150 and up to chrome it and i could but a new one for that. So, like i said thanks for the input guys.

Hey frzein, do you also have a black dodge rumble bee? Or maybe its just a black dodge 1500, I don't remember.

I live in Moline, and I've been told no place around Moline is any good or cheap. A guy I know sends all his stuff up to Dubuque to get chromed.

Alright, my buddy lives on the same court as you. You've probably seen my truck there, green 97 ext. cab long bed 12 valve. Is your truck louder now with the stack? I always thought it was a little quiet
