Re: [Chrysler300] Sihilling Plating

[moparpjf@xxxxxxx]

Hi Tom:
 
    Sorry you are having all that trouble with  Sihilling - guess I just 
got lucky with him.  Some time ago, someone gave  the name of a plater in 
Chicago who annodizes, but I can't remember it off  hand.  I'll see if I can 
find it for you.

Hi  George,



You know, you might have gotten to the bottom of the  problem. If these 
folks
are sending our parts out to another shop  (especially in another country), 
I
can see how things get mixed up and some  things get lost or done in an
incorrect finish.



Does anyone  else have experience with anodizing by someone in the  states?



Thanks to all.

I sent my anodizing to Marco at  Anobrite, which is now King of Trim 
after poor results from Sihilling.....  The result was just about as 
bad. I am now puzzled as to who to use now.  My previous experience 
with Anobrite wa superb. I will say this... Neither  of the companies 
are doing their own work any longer and who knows who  they are sending 
it out to.... My guess is it is going to  Mexico!

That's my take on it at thus time and I am so discouraged that  I am 
consider not going any more cars.
