Chromeing grill and price !!!???

I just had a quote to Chrome my D 21 grill.  Sit down for this or is this the price ?  $375 a side and $175  each for the center parts.   Also the sides of the grill for a B10  Yup $175 each !!  Bargen of the day $90.00 for the throttle on the D 21.   IS THIS THE NORM?  This is also a cheaper spot in Mission BC Canada.  What is going for back east ?

Advanced Plating out of Nashville, TN is who the Spike TV"s Power Block are always talking about.

Never done any business with them, but the TV makes it look like they do quality work. Never hurts to get a second opinion. HTH

Chrome plating is not a cheap venture. There are a lot of things involved with chrome plating that makes it so expensive. Especially if your getting it in a show chrome. The one thing about chrome plating is, if the piece that you are plating is in mint condition, (no pits, etc) then the job will turn out beautiful by a replicable shop with not a whole lotta' work. If the piece has pits, rust, etc. then it will need a lot of work to get it right before it goes through the plating process. Because its a three part process, (copper nickel & chrome) and the enviromental rules and regs that is put on the chemicals, and disposing of such chemicals, all drives up the cost of plating. The larger the piece to get plated, the higher the cost it is to plate it. Fact of life. Dazzle can get expensive.....

Try Ogden Chrome in Utah. You can submit pictures and get an estimate online. They did some Camaro bumpers for me and was very pleased with the quality and service. Not sure if they still offer it, but was free shipping both ways....only about 2 week turnaround for me at the time.

Advance Plating in Nashville is also very high.  For my Ferguson I had them replate 2 hood latches and the number "4" and "0" along with the trim piece that goes around the numbers.  It could all fit in a 5"x5" box.  $250.

We paid $450.00 to chrome grille on our D-21 and we had 2 hood handles and throttle lever done also and I think total was $600.00. Chroming is outrageous due to EPA and all regulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well i did a quick google search on this before posting and sounding dumb, but you might want to look into chrome powder coating.  I dont know much about it, even less on a price. PC seems doable, more places that would probably do it too.  I think there is also a chrome shop called "I-65 chrome shop" near remington, IN at the intersection of I-65 and SR 24.  I dont know if they do chroming or just install chorme accessories. 

Chrome powder coating is definitely an option but it has its limitations.  Straight out of the oven it looks pretty darn close to the real thing, but unfortunately like most any metallic powder, it almost always requires a clear coat layer of powder to make it stand up to any chemicals, heat, and sunlight.  The clear coat tends to dull the chrome a little.  But it's definitely cheaper than the real thing.  The shop I worked at did quite a few parts with a powder called 'black chrome'.  It's a neat color... more of a deep silver with a lot of shine to it.

SKS72107 I'm pretty sure they just sell parts at Remington, and mostly for big trucks. I don't think there is any rechromeing done there!

Darrell , Do a search on hydro coating. You will find this much cheaper and looks pretty good . make sure they quote a clear coat over the finish. Pretty cool process. Scott

Calvin, When will you need an Operator for one of those? I'll work for meals
